We chatted with Chris about the history of the band, the reformation of the group since 2016, his personal creative process, how the band writes, reuniting with producer John Fryer, how his vocal, range is even better now than ever before, the pivotal role soundtracks played in the bands' rise to fame in the 1990s, his thoughts on streaming, the value of the contributions from former members, and much more.
