The Revelators (album)

The Revelators is the third and final studio album by Australian blues-rock band The Revelators. The album was released 23 September 2002.[1] The band considers this 'their true debut'.[2] Camilleri said "This is the evolution of being a band. It's about trying to create a standard of music that's as good as the music we love."[3] Unlike the band's previous albums, this album contains mostly original tracks. Joe Camilleri said; “We wrote a whole bunch of songs for the record, but some didn't make the cut. It's always a tricky thing, you think they're all beautiful. Some songs are really good but they don't fit the record.” The album was officially launched on 4 October 2002 at Melbourne's Corner Hotel.[4]
