The Apocalypse Blues Revival was formed in 2018 by Shannon Larkin (drums), Tony Rombola (guitar), and Brian Carpenter (bass). Shannon and Tony have played together for over 17 years and counting in the seminal rock band Godsmack, and the idea came to start a blues band simply for their love of playing the blues (and the whole blues genre), as well as the immediate chemistry they shared in writing original blues songs together. They discovered Brian in the Southwest Florida music scene where they live, asked him to jam, and then immediately asked him to join them on a mission which, after enlisting Ray Cerbone on vocals, became Blue Cross. They played, performed, and wrote the blues for nearly six years before signing a deal and releasing two albums for Provogue Records under the name The Apocalypse Blues Revue. **Inactive as of 4/3/21
