In 2009, bassist Dean Dinning said Toad the Wet Sprocket was now something each member considered an active project; though they had not released a new studio album since 1997, and only did small summer tours, they no longer considered themselves “broken up”. In May 2010, the band gathered at a California studio to begin re-recording some of their older hits for licensing reasons. Columbia Records owns the masters to the band’s albums. Therefore, the band makes little money from them, so to be able to make a living off their own talent again, they made these re-recordings with the goal of having them used in film and TV.
