The Wee Hours Revue is the major label debut album by American alternative rock band Roman Candle, released in 2006.
Background and production[edit]
Many of the songs were reworked from their debut recording Says Pop, which was released in 2002 via a small independent label, Outlook Music, run by NFL defensive end Trevor Pryce. The band was later signed to a contract by Hollywood Records, who paid to re-record their album but set it on the shelf for two years before dropping the band altogether. V2 Records stepped in and bought the rights to the re-recorded tracks and set a June 20, 2006 release date for the record. The album was recorded predominantly in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, at Chris Stamey's studio, Modern Recording. Both Chris Stamey and Roman Candle are credited as producing the album. The thirteen tracks were mixed by a host of mixer-producers, including Tony Hoffer, John Alagia, John Agnello, John Plymale, Chris Stamey, and Tim Harper.
