Revolution By Night were an electronic music band based in London, England. Often referred to simply as RBN, the only continuous members were founding members Steve Weeks (vocals/keyboards/programming) and Bryon Adamson (keyboards/programming); Phil Eaton (keyboards) joined in 2006.

Revolution By Night Mk I - 1994 to 1999

Revolution By Night were originally a four-piece band featuring vocalist Steve Weeks and bassist Bryon Adamson. They were heavily influenced by bands such as Fields of the Nephilim and The Sisters of Mercy. They recorded the album Breathe in 1994, which was released the following year. No further releases followed other than a handful of compilation tracks, and the group ceased activity in their then-current format in 1999.

The band was originally known as Restoration II from 1992 until 1994, a continuation of Weeks’ previous band Restoration, with all new members (including Bryon Adamson, Eric Gandoin and Richard Pyne) sourced via an advert placed in the UK music newspaper Melody Maker. Richard Pyne from Restoration II went on to form the bands Killing Miranda and Uberbyte. The ex-members of Restoration went on to form goth rock act Vendemmian.

Revolution By Night Mk II - 2000 to 2005

In late 1999, with previously unrealised ambitions to pursue electronic music, Weeks set up a small home studio and began working on new synth-based material with Bryon Adamson; together they developed a new, full-blooded electronic sound. The first fruits of their labour surfaced the following year at the Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Leipzig, where the band played a synthesiser-heavy set, debuting the future RBN anthem "Faithless," written by Weeks on a Novation Supernova and a Korg Trinity rack. Although Weeks and Adamson had been increasing the use of synthesisers in unreleased material for some time, the new sound was unexpected for some fans but was well received. 

In June 2003 the Faithless EP was released. Featuring remixes of the title track by Ronan Harris of VNV Nation and Tom Shear of Assemblage 23, the EP contained two other new songs, "Schadenfreude" and "Higher Ground (voxless)," and two completely reworked older songs. With the EP reaching No. 14 in the DAC (German Alternative Chart) and No. 3 in the Belgian Side-Line chart, the band again appeared at Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig. The VNV Nation remix became a dance-floor hit at the Slimelight club in London. 

RBN then spent most of 2004 and 2005 largely on hiatus; although new material was written during this time, it was subsequently scrapped. RBN (also known as Revolution By Night Mk III) was active from 2006 to 2012; Stok:holm/DKAG has been in effect from 2013 to the present. In 2006 the band relaunched, supporting Covenant on their UK tour and playing a set of almost entirely new songs. A steady following began to develop, mainly in the London scene, with RBN supporting many of the scene's well-known names. The following year, the band's remix of the Reaper track "X-Junkie" was released on Reaper's CD The Devil Is Female, which reached number one on the German DAC chart in January 2008. Writing continued that year for what would become the City Lights album. Pre-production studio work on the album was completed by late 2010 and handed over to producer Krischan Wesenberg of Rotersand; the finished album was slated for release in 2011. In November 2010, Weeks remixed Komor Kommando's track "Shrapnel". Apart from a couple of live dates in 2011, the band did little else. In November 2012, RBN announced that they had changed their name to Stok:holm and quietly released the much-delayed City Lights album on 1 January 2013 under the new name. Stok:holm have neither played live dates nor produced new music and appear to be on permanent hiatus. Since then, Weeks has worked with fellow London DJ Emmerick Gortz in the EBM/tech band DKAG; they released an EP titled "Short Wave" in 2015 and have played multiple live shows supporting bands such as Reaper, Suicide Commando, Phosgore, Combichrist, Apoptygma Berzerk, Velvet Acid Christ, Icon of Coil, and Aesthetic Perfection.
