The Revivalists settle into their most focused and emotionally grounded sound yet on Get It Honest, an album shaped by experience, family, and nearly 20 years together.
The Revivalists return with Get It Honest, an album that reflects a band comfortable in its own skin after nearly two decades together. Produced once again by Grammy-winning producer Rich Costey, the album reunites the group with the creative partnership that helped shape 2023's Pour It Out Into The Night. This time around, the emphasis isn't on reinvention. Instead, the New Orleans eight-piece focuses on clarity, crafting a collection of songs that feels unified from beginning to end.
That sense of purpose runs throughout the album's 12 tracks. With most of the band now balancing life on the road with raising families, Get It Honest explores themes of maturity, forgiveness, and leaving old baggage behind. Songs such as "Razorblades and Runways," "Lost and Found," and the title track find the Revivalists leaning into emotional honesty without sacrificing the soulful, roots-driven sound that has become their calling card. The performances are measured and confident, allowing the songs to carry the weight rather than relying on sheer volume or excess.
Formed in New Orleans in 2007, The Revivalists built their reputation through relentless touring before breaking into the mainstream with Men Amongst Mountains in 2015. Its breakthrough single, "Wish I Knew You," became a double-platinum hit, climbed the Billboard Hot 100, and introduced the band's blend of rock, soul, funk, and Americana to a much wider audience. Along the way, they've shared stages with the Rolling Stones, appeared at major festivals including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and New Orleans Jazz Fest, and earned television appearances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Austin City Limits, and TODAY.
The Revivalists have never lacked chemistry, but Get It Honest feels like the sound of a band that has stopped trying to be everything at once. The songs are rooted in experience, strengthened by years spent together, and centered on finding hope in the present rather than dwelling on the past. It's another confident step forward for a group that continues to evolve without losing sight of what made them connect with listeners in the first place.
