Reverend Horton Heat news

On Jan. 21, the Reverend Horton Heat will release Rev, their first album in over four years and their debut for Victory Records.

The band is on tour now.

Watch the new music video for "Let Me Teach You How to Eat," featuring burlesque star Michelle L'Amour and a group of '50s pinup girls: http://bit.ly/1aRwBj8

Produced by Jim "The Rev" Heath, the 13 original songs on 'Rev' find the frontman looking back to his earliest influences such as Glen Campbell, Leiber and Stoller, and even the Ventures on surf rock homage "Zombie Dumb." "When I was a kid, the drum part to 'Wipeout' was what we all tried to do while sitting at our desks in math class," Heath says.

Song influences span the band's career. "Scenery Going By" was inspired by a recent drive past small towns in Kansas, lamenting the musician's lot of never getting to know the places one tours through. "Longest Gone Man," on the other hand, was one of the first songs the Rev wrote, but remained unreleased until John Lydon got his hands on an early demo a few years ago and expressed his admiration.
