Problem with Revelino was they only had one top tune, "Happiness is mine". Maybe if that film, "I went down", did better than it did they could of made it.
I think the Stunning is the most obvious example of an Irish band that never quite made it.
I remember seeing Revelino a few times in UCD and thinking they were bloody good, yet they disapeared off the face of the earth. I hear they do weddings nowadays.
There must be loads of other Irish bands who suffered similar fates.

The Blades is the obvious one yeah?

I think I seen revelino in UCd as well(was that you in the army fatigues and beret??).....they had some good tunes alrite then they had a change of direction.......not so good tunes....
I Suppose you could include Aslan in that too
Whipping Boy, another band I saw in UCD that were quite good
UCD sha-la-la
This will take some people back and it'll make some other people realise why an 80s revival is NOT a good idea. It's a database of Irish punk / new wave / powerpop / etc bands from roughly 1975 - 90 (only ones who actually recorded material):
