Mike V's Revolution Mother




Revolution Mother is Mike Vallely's "new band." Born in Edison, New Jersey and raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia, the skateboarder/actor/TV personality/stuntman now hails from Long Beach, California. The iconic skater may also be recognizable to some from his appearances in the Jackass series, Tony Hawk Pro Skater games, The Hangover ( "Neeco," the tuxedo van man), CKY videos/Viva La Bam, or his iPhone video game.
Revolution Mother was formed around 2007, after Vallely's previous band, Mike V & The Rats dissolved, and a string of solo releases. Jason Hampton, Colin Buis, and Brendan Murphy fill out the band. They have since released 2 albums, Glory Bound (2007) and Rollin' with tha Mutha (2009). Their sound can be simply described as American Hard Rock/Punk-Metal PARTYTIME music, that's influenced by early Black Flag.
