"Originally recorded around 2000, the 'Revival' album was the band's first time together in a studio, our first time tracking and mixing and they weren't as hands-on as they are now with the process. We felt that certain aspects of the finished album left us wanting, so remixing the album is something we've always talked about. Twenty-three years on we got the chance, and it was really fun to hear the original studio performances. They still stand up today and it made me feel real proud of those early recordings and the OG team", Katchafire singer and founding member Logan Bell said.
