2. The Revenants formed in 2002, consisting of childhood friends Jessica Emdee and Ariel Kwiatkowski, two Vancouver, Washington middle school students who shared similar tastes in music and a DIY punk ethic. Jessica had taught herself how to play guitar and was writing songs since the age of twelve.

?What got me to talk to her,? Jessica says, ?was her constant drumming her hands on the table.?

Ariel lacked a drum kit, and says she ?was inexperienced, but started banging on pots and pans anyways?.

Eventually they built up some musical equipment, as well as a catalog of songs. Despite hardships and lineup changes these two young women skeletized the band they had created literally from scratch. Guitarists Chris Loveland, Teryn Kilgore, and Ruth Yoder; and bassists Blake Petersen, Shannon O'Brien, and Katherine Krajnak, were Revenants at different times between 2002-2008.

About half of the seven tracks on Kiss Me Deadly, their record, date back to those first practices in Ariel's garage in Vancouver, where The Revenants still practice every Sunday.
