===''Places for Breathing'' (2002β2003)=== With the help of a new manager, John Zagata, they recorded three demo songs, "A Gift," "Seven," and "Straight Jacket Labels" with producers [[Tommy Henriksen]] and [[Jeff Pilson]]. This eventually caught the attention of record labels, and demos for "Caught in the Rain" and "Spin" were subsequently recorded to maintain hype.<ref>[http://www.soniccontrol.com/guitar/details.php?ID=31 Places for Breathing: An interview with Revis] SonicControl.com (February 28, 2003). Retrieved on 6-10-09.</ref> In January 2002, the band signed with [[Epic Records]] to start work on their first album at NRG Recording in [[North Hollywood]]. Some of their demo songs would end up on their debut album; others were written during NRG's recording session. It was during the five weeks of recording that the band was forced to change its name to Revis because a UK band had been using the Orco name for six years compared to the American band's three years. They chose the name "Revis" after their close friend and guitar tech Jason Revis who had been with the band since its inception even without pay; only through their joining a major label would he finally start being paid.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120314083100/http://www.placesforbreathing.com/fr_cwinterview.cfm Chain-Whipped Interview With Robert Davis ]. placesforbreathing.com</ref> The end result of their efforts was a debut album entitled ''[[Places for Breathing]]'', which was released on May 20, 2003. The album debuted at No. 1 on [[Billboard magazine|Billboard's]] [[Billboard Heatseekers|Heatseekers]] chart, selling 10,000 copies in its opening week,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120314083035/http://www.placesforbreathing.com/fr_03rollstone.cfm Rolling Stone Article]. placesforbreathing.com</ref> and peaked at No. 115 on the Billboard Top 200.
