Yes, I am well aware that I am well past the time period where I can call something a kick off to your weekend, but like it or lump it. Either You take you're music with a smile or continue listening to something lame like "Summer Time Girls" by LFO. I'm sorry but anyone who feels the need to name drop Abercrombie and Fitch twenty times in a row and talk about chinese food should not be writing the lyrics for your band. Moving right along then? This week I give you...
All I Ever Wanted - The Reason
I have been a big fan of The Reason for a couple years now. I originally saw them play at The Cutting Edge Music Festival the first year it was put on and held at The Grand Bend Motor Plex. I remember them playing an awesome set full of energy. Things got so crazy that the group of eager fans pushed through the barricade. I just happend to be at the front holding onto said barricade. I ended up with a ton of cuts on my inner thigh and bruises galore. On the plus side lead singer and gutarist Adam White came down and held me while he sang shortly there afterwards. It was kind of awkward, and kids were pulling and clawing at me to get to him but he did smell pretty good.
The Reason is a band based in Hamilton, Ontario and formed in the winter of 2003. They were later signed by Smallman Records in 2004. They currently have an EP - Problems Associated With Running and two full length albums, New From The Old and Things Couldn't Be Better. Their third full length will be released this fall. (2009)
The Reason headlined the Next Big Thing stage at the 5th annual 91.5 The Beat Rocks The Block and were amazing. They played a few tracks from Things Couldn't Be Better and a bunch of stuff off the upcomming album. I was right up front and from what I herd the new album will not disappoint. Even though it started to rain after finishing their set the guys stood outside talking to fans. Adam White was very cool when this twinkle douche (if you were there, it was the dude who yelled "play some slayer!" durring their set) came up to him and said I hate your band, I saw you on TV once and I turned the channel right away. He just smiled and thanked him for watching their set. He may not be able to say something, but I will gladly tell all of my readers and anyone else who is willing to listen that this guy is a twinkle douche. If Dane Cook were here he would shoot this guy with some spaghetti, he was very rude.
I took this picture, I'm sorry I don't know how to rotate it :-(
