From their humble beginnings in the late '90s as a Bob Marley tribute band to one of New Zealand's and the South Pacific's most popular groups today, Katchafire have created a timeless hit-filled repertoire during this short time span. The "Burn It Down" single follows their 2013 Best So Far album, also released on VP Records. The album features the band's most cherished anthems off their groundbreaking 2003 debut Revival - including "Get Away," "Who You With" and "Giddy Up" (2003's highest selling single in New Zealand) - all of which landed in the Top 10 of New Zealand's Top 40 Singles Chart. Best So Far also highlighted the group's top songs from their remaining independently-released albums, like "Frisk Me Down" off of 2005's Slow Burning, "Working" and the title track from 2007's Say What You're Thinking as well as "Sweet As" and "Groove Again" off of 2010's On the Road Again.
