"It was the second album where we stumbled on a really unique sound, our third album followed a year later," Rick said.
"Our new line up has always been about unity and new material."
With original singer John Brewster having stepped off the microphone to join his brother on guitar, the band's current line up consists of replacement singer Dave Gleeson supported by Nick Norton on drums and John's son Sam Brewster on bass.
"Any new member brings something to the party," Rick said.
"All three of them are relative newcomers we have done two albums of new songs together, when it comes to playing the old repertoire they play close to the originals.
"Dave is very respectful to the old band and came in as a fan, he sings the songs close to the originals."
With Rewind in the Vines promising to be a full day of music, Rick said of the all the acts that will be playing at the festival he is especially keen to see fellow pub-rock purveyors The Black Sorrows as well Mark Lizotte aka Johnny Diesel performing.
"Diesel is a fantastic act," Rick said.
"I have liked front man Mark Lizotte ever since he was in Johnny D And The Injectors, the show he will be playing Griffith is great."
Also playing at the show will be Choirboys, Radiators, Pacific Avenue, Happy Avenue and Side Effect.
As for the outdoor vineyard venue at Rewind In The Vines Rick said despite being pub rock through-and-through The Angles have been playing most of their gigs out doors as of late and know what to expect.
