Revelation Theory, the hard rock band that later shortened its name to Rev Theory, got started in 2002 and put out a self-titled EP in 2004 before EMI released their debut studio album, Truth Is Currency, in 2005. It is a record of big, muscular riffs and chest-out choruses, and "Selfish and Cold" came off it; "Slow Burn" also made the countdowns. Rikki Lixx, Matt McCloskey and Richard Luzzi are among the members.
The band found its biggest audience in an unlikely arena, the wrestling ring. Under the Rev Theory name, "Light It Up" became the theme for a WrestleMania, "Hell Yeah" for One Night Stand 2008 and "Justice" for Extreme Rules 2011, and since May 2008 their song "Voices" has played Randy Orton to the ring. Five studio albums in all, from Truth Is Currency through Salvation Nowhere in 2024, trace the whole run.
