There are at least four artists using the name Reverse 1) "Reverse plays that strange brand of rock that isn't indie, isn't punk, and isn't metal. It's somewhere in between these genres. Musically the power trio sounds like Fugazi being molested by Cheap Trick; it's punishing, brutal, and catchy as hell. Reverse hits you in so many different ways you don't know whether to sing along joyfully or get in a fight."
Mike Baldino, The Noise
