didn't know what it was like to be
black from Kingston in the '60s."
Adds Roberge, "But what we can
strive for is the pulse and unified
sound."
That unified sound looks to have
found its focus. Since signing with a
major label in 2003, their first album
of all-new material, slated for release
in October, includes the promising
mix of the boys having grown up a bit
and bringing on board producer Jerry
Harrison, former drummer for the
Talking Heads.
But their signature optimism is still
the core of the band; and not only in
spirit, but action, too: "The Torah
commands that you give away a 10th
of your possessions, and that's some-
thing I believe in, to help people who
are less fortunate than you," says
Gershman. "Not everyone in the band
does it because it's in the Torah, but
we all believe it's important to give
back."
For many years, the band chose to
support a nonprofit organization or
charity at every show; these days, they

work with various companies, donat-
ing time and money as well as items to
auction from their tours.
At the same time, the friends are
loathe to take themselves too seriously.
In fact, the name Of A Revolution,
says Gershman, comes from a story
that Roberge wrote in high school,
whose characters dealt with the chal-
lenges confrontinab his generation of
Nirvana-listening, angst-ridden high-
school kids. "But really," says Roberge,
"we were fine."
Gershman agrees that the entire
band is very much about embracing
life. "That's how we are as friends.
And musically, we aren't all dark. We
try to keep things fun; we want to
have a good time." He adds, "Our rev-
olution is just a music revolution."
