	Don't Lead Me Down
	February 1996
Revelino make their first venture into the singles market with one of the quieter moments from their debut album leading the charge. Brendan Tallon's plaintive plea isn't the most obvious contender to jostle for radio supremacy with more immediate songs, but its quiet evocative-ness may turn out to be its greatest strength - it's more likely to bear up to repeated listenings. With subtle chords underpinning the song, 'Don't Lead Me Down' is then embellished with cello and two unexpected barbs of guitar. Even if you already have the album you have to buy this single, it comes with three new tracks, including 'The Dog', the greatest song the Monkees never knocked out in a rehearsal, as well as an acoustic version of 'World Going Down'. Great stuff.

'I Know What You Want' might be instrumentally heavier, faster and rougher as Revelino move into free style and let loose all their intricate guitar work, but, paradoxically, it's also lighter and more liberated than the band have been up to this. It's as if the pressure is off and they've been unshackled to ascend to another musical level. Brendan Tallon's lyrics, too, are dextrous and playful, like they've never been before. Revelino are just at the tip of their creativity.
