Reveille was a nu metal/rap metal group from Harvard, Chelmsford, and Shirley, Massachusetts, USA. They were formed in 1998, and released a 4 song demo, and then hit big with their debut album, Laced, in 1999 on Elektra Records. The album featured a guest appearance by Cypress Hill rapper B-Real. The band played Warped Tour 1999, Woodstock 1999, and Ozzfest 2000, and toured with Godsmack, Machine Head, and Powerman 5000. In 2001, they released their follow-up album, Bleed the Sky, featuring appearances from Cold singer Scooter Ward and Taproot singer Steve Richards. Reveille was awarded the 2001 Boston Music Award for "Rising Star". Reveille then toured with Static-X. In 2002, their original guitarist, Greg Sullivan, left Reveille. He was replaced by Chris Turner. Reveille then did one tour with Sevendust before breaking up in 2003.

Bassist Carl Randolph briefly joined the alternative rock band Oma in 2003. Guitarist Steve Miloszewski joined the band City Sleeps in 2005. Turner is now in a band called Vera Mesmer.

In 2005 Reveille singer Drew Simollardes and original Reveille guitarist Greg Sullivan formed a new band called Genuflect. Bassist John Boudreau and drummer Jeff Lawn from the band 7th Rail Crew then joined the project and Genuflect recorded a 13 song EP in early 2007.

Reveille's song "The Phoenix" was featured in a 2007 commercial for World of Warcraft, starring actor Verne Troyer.
