Alpha Rev is a rock band from Austin, Texas fronted by Casey McPherson (formerly of Endochine).

Casey McPherson founded Alpha Rev in 2005 after the breakup of his previous band Endochine, which had toured with Staind, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pete Yorn and Bob Schneider.Alpha Rev released their debut album "The Greatest Thing I've Ever Learned" on March 1, 2007. After releasing "The Greatest Thing" locally, the band signed a recording agreement with Austin indie Flyer Records, and made a record produced by Dwight Baker of Matchbox Studios. After the record created significant early buzz, it became embroiled in contract disputes and, to this date, has not been released. In August 2008 Alpha Rev signed with Hollywood Records.

In 2007 Alpha Rev was ranked the #1 indie band from Texas on the Myspace.com charts and the #16 indie band nationwide. Alpha Rev was selected by Austin Monthly Magazine as one of the bands most likely to succeed out of Austin in 2008.
