Revolution Rock Band
Revolution is a Canadian political hard rock/ metal band, based just outside the Downtown Toronto area in the Suburb city of Brampton, Ontario Canada. The band consists of four members: guitarist Jamie Bekyarovich, drummer Greg Ciligot, bassist Luc Michael Mascioli and vocalist Tyler Watkins. All of whom are between the ages of 14-16. The band accounts their metal sound to influences such as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Ozzy Osbourne, Randy Rhoads, Jason Becker, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica and Rush, just to name a few. Revolution has been writing and recording original music and have recently released their debut EP entitled “Day of Protest” under an independent label. The band has played shows at various Toronto venues including the Sound Academy. Revolution has been opening acts for bands such as Uli Jon Roth, Michael Schenker, Anvil, Goddo, Faster Pussycat, Bang Tango, Teenage Head (band), Quiet Riot, Stryper and Famous Underground. Critical acclaim has been achieved and the band is greatly praised for not only being so young, but also for writing and playing their own music. Lithium Magazine had this to say about Revolution as an opening act for Anvil: “Revolution, another show opener, also sounded great, but the most amazing part was that the band member’s age range was 14-16 years old. These kids nailed the show, and it was especially nice to see young musicians writing and actually ‘playing’ rock music, in a generation where young “musicians” rely heavily on music generated solely by computer. We need to hear more bands like these guys!”.

After his 1st time seeing them perform on June 6th, 2013 when they opened for Major Recording Artist Quiet Riot Oliver Guillaume wrote in his concert review " Their songs were pretty good on a first listen, however what stood out immediately was how talented the band's guitarist Jamie Bekyarovich was. Holy shit, that young man can play! Ironically enough, even before the band launched into their second last song -- a cover of the Ozzy Osbourne classic "I Don't Know" -- I was thinking that I was seeing a new younger version of Randy Rhoads, oozing with talent and potential -- but also due to his long hair and skinny frame. How fitting for the evening than that Revolution would cover that Randy Rhoads classic! They are definitely a band to watch in the future -- particularly guitarist Jamie Bekyarovich. Oliver next saw them live July 19, 2013 when they opened for Stryper and said "having had the opportunity to see the band open for Quiet Riot just a little over a month ago, I was now more used to guitarist Jamie Bekyarovich's brilliant and mesmerizing guitar playing. This time, what caught my attention was how good bassist Luc Michael Mascioli was as well. I was also more familiar with Revolution's songs given that I was hearing most of them for a second time. The band opened with one of my favorites from their own originals called "Iron Sword". Oliver being so impressed, wanted to know more about these talented young musicians performing mostly their own original live rock music in which he contacted the band and requested to do an Interview. and to have a listen to their CD "DAY OF PROTEST" in which he wrote a review on. .

Formation
The band found its origins with founding member guitarist Jamie Bekyarovich and original singer Niall Mackenzie. Looking to form a band the two were in need of a drummer. They found their missing piece in Greg Ciligot, a drummer, whom Jamie had discovered while watching a talent show. Agreeing to join the band, the three (at the suggestion of Greg) decided to name themselves Toxic Waste. Under this name the band played a limited amount of shows. Creative differences started to appear, and repeat absences from practices lead to the departure of vocalist Niall Mackenzie. Bassist Spencer Daily Copper soon after was asked to audition for the band and was asked to join. The addition of Spencer led to a change in the name of the band, and now called themselves Revolution. With this line up the band started to play more shows and came close to winning a battle of the bands competition. Again due creative differences Spencer had decided to leave the band, thus leaving Jamie and Greg to find a new singer and bassist. After their auditions, Tyler Watkins and Bassist Luc Michael Mascioli were asked to join.
