    Artist description
    Fronted by Eve Lyn on vocals, with a voice that ranges from melodic to shattering, who also delivers lyric poetry across some of the more rhythmic tracks, moved by the thundering and original bass of G. Hamilton W. and the powerful and creative drumming of Miguel, who also runs loop tracks, and guided by the guitar of Mr. Walker, who a reviewer described as appearing to find therapy in his guitar, Nevolutio builds an onslaught for their audience to get impaled with. Eve Lyn's vocals are sultry and Nevolutio's lyrics (many also written by G. Hamilton W.) are inspired, perfectly complimenting their unique style. Their use of digital sounds in loops and created/synthesized organically with their instruments adds an eerie gloominess to some songs and uplifts others. Nevolutio is renowned for their incredible dynamics, pushing and pulling sounds in and out of riffs, falling into dub style grooves. Often crashing and thundering mix with screeching and scraping as the members delve into experimental instrument abuse at their live shows, Mr. Walker looking like he is trying to bend his guitar and stomp his pedals through the floor, while G. Hamilton punches the strings of his bass. Together the members of Nevolutio make a sound that is hard to describe, harder to categorize, and even harder to absorb completely the first time.

    Artist History
    Nevolutio became a 'band' in 1994, when two guys from Dallas, TX decided to take an extended vacation in Austin and see if they could find others musicians to play with. Tired of the Dallas scene Mr. Walker and G. Hamilton W. met up with old friends Shamrock (percussion) and Eve Lyn (poet, singer, songwriter). Although they each had very different styles and influences they shared the same vision of a band. Working with a string of different drummers Nevolutio hit Austin's famous 6th St. and within a year had residencies at several of the popular music venues and played out off and on 6th St. constantly. Nevolutio saved up their gig profits and entered the studio in July of 1996 to begin work on their debut album. However, on a serious budget, the band members continued to work full time jobs while still keeping up with their many local, and now, Dallas and San Antonio performances. Financing, or the lack of, delayed the release of their first album until July of 1999, and by then Nevolutio had become one of the most exciting acts in town, with a video in regular rotation on The Austin Music Network and regular plugs on local radio station KO-OP Radio. On July 15th 1999 Nevolutio played their CD release show to a sold out audience and stocked up local record stores. Currently the band is spending time writing and rehearsing, while still playing in and out of town regularly, and is thinking of re-recording some material from their first album, along with lots of new material, live to try and capture the energy of their live shows...and is working on getting their second release out.
