Edit history

Id Rev, a true Estonian underground legend and the most outstanding among the Estonian-singing indie bands, was founded back in 1995 as Idiootsuse Revolutsioon (Revolution of Idiocy). Then a romantic punk band, their style has gone through quite a few changes, touching on indie rock and post-rock on the way, and has by now reached the point where one needs new terms to describe their sound. The year 2009 saw the band's comeback after a two-year gig-pause and the long eight-year-gap in recording — their now sold-out and thus totally cult CD “Sina ei” (“Not You”) was released already in 2001. In late 2009 Id Rev released their third proper album “Kuhu kadus joie de vivre?” (“Where did we lose the joy of life?”), which was recorded and mixed during four years both in Estonia and Finland. Their impressive comeback album mixes the best parts of guitar-pop, electronica and Mogwai-like post-rock with the unique, nicely naive vocal style of their singer/songwriter Neeme Lopp. Presentation
