BREDA, THE NETHERLANDS - The Black Box Revelation are two Belgians, Jan Paternoster on guitar and Dries van Dijck on drums, whose debut album, "Set Your Head on Fire" (Beverly Martel/T for Tunes), stomps its way toward garage-rock and proto-punk, with Mr. Paternoster yowling like Iggy Pop or Mick Jagger and calling for love. Every so often they strip the music down to something slow and bluesy. But the Black Box Revelation isn't purely retro. They are just as happy with a drum-machine beat and a heap of overdubbed percussion, as long as the music makes its happy, trashy crash. Read more about the band on blackboxrevelation.com
