Hundred Reasons are a British rock band that formed in Surrey in 1999. They mixed post-hardcore with a much more rocky base, forming quite an original sound. I first heard about these guys through a friend, who lent me their debut album 'Ideas Above Our Station'. I fell in love after hearing 'Silver' for the first time and religiously listened to the whole album. After a while I decided to follow it up and buy their second album, 'Shatterproof Is Not A Challange'. Sadly this wasn't as amazing as their first, with some songs falling flat on their arse. Shortly after their second release, Sony BMG dropped them from their label. After finding themselves another label in 2005, V2 Records, they released their 'Kill Your Own' the following year. This album was released to a large amount of critical acclaim and was seen their worst album by fans. Personally, I think it's probably my favourite album as it's got such a raw recording sound to it. My aspect about Hundred Reasons was the fact their backing singer, Paul Townsend, wasn't just a backup singer, he often sung lead vocals aswell. Sadly his departure gave the band a major blow and they haven't been the same since. Check out The Lucky Nine aswell, featuring members of the band A and Hundred Reasons.
