Dead Root Revival

The Controller’s Exam is a sweeping 12-song collection now available on digital platforms, CD and double vinyl. Dead Root Revival has released a handful of live albums—capturing all the grit and energy of their shows—making The Controller’s Exam technically their debut. Yet, it was also recorded in a live setting with renowned producer David Barbe (Sugar, R.E.M., Drive-By Truckers) at Chase Park Transduction Studio in Athens, Georgia. Along with Savage and drummer Bowering, the band consists of Tony Silvestri on keyboards and bassist Richard Piche. The Controller's Exam also features mind-bending cover art from Canadian illustrator Jeremy Bruneel.
