"(When Sumo came out)…everything went big time," singer Sarah McLeod said.
"It was terrifying and exciting all at once. We worked so hard on that album… to be sitting here talking about it 20 years later, knowing that it was an important part of Australian music history and affected so many people along the way… it feels like an incredible achievement.
