Following the sold-out success of the remastered re-issue of their much-loved 1994 debut album, Dublin band Revelino will release live favourite That's What Emily Says as a single on this week's Bandcamp Friday.

A highlight of the veteran band’s live set, many fans have always believed the song should have been a single and now with the success of the remastered album, the five-piece act have decided to finally release the song.

They’ve also produced a new video for the track, featuring live footage and photos from 1996.

Out this Friday as part of Bandcamp Friday

Revelino released their self-titled debut album on vinyl album for the first time in October, along with a bonus six-track EP on yellow vinyl, and it shot straight to No 1 in the Irish Indie charts.

The first pressing of the record sold out in two weeks and a second pressing is in production and will be in the shops from Nov 27th.

Revelino revisit their back pages on album re-release.

On its original release in 1994, Revelino was acclaimed by critics, with lead single Happiness is Mine becoming a radio favourite in Ireland, and the album going on to be voted No. 47 in a 100 Greatest Irish albums list in 2004.

Revelino at play

The band released a second single, Don't Lead Me Down, in April 1995 and it featured in two film soundtracks - British gangster movie Hardmen and Irish cult comedy crime classic I Went Down, which was written by Conor McPherson and starred Brendan Gleeson and Peter McDonald.

Perhaps best of all, the band’s later single Step on High featured in the late John Peel’s box of favourite 120 singles - the only Irish single in the fabled box other than The Undertones’ Teenage Kicks.
