Reuben are the MAIN tour support for HR, with Twofold and Dave House (of Lucky Thirteen fame). You shouldn't have too much trouble catching them this time! Martin x

Was an absolutely amazing gig. Reuben were stars, can't wait to see them 3 days in a row on the Hundred Reasons tour (hint hint ), aka Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow perspectively. The Boxers Rebellion weren't my cup of tea, got bored to be honest, though I'm sure there are plenty of people who enjoyed them. And Biffy! The second time I've ever seen them (the first time supporting Hundred Reasons on the March tour), and I was damn impressed! Twas one of the tightest and amazing packed setlists I've endured in my 21 years of living on this rock we call Earth! I had a tear in my eye when I saw all the younger crowd bouncing and singing to their hearts content, aww! Can't wait to see them again. MON THE REUBEN/BIFFY! Martin x

I'm there if thats the case!!!!!!! Martin x

And here was me expecting a Thundercats thread. Being pissed and being caught outside whilst thunder takes place = bad idea, been there got the t-shirt, scared the hell out of me. Martin x

Well I'm going. Do I get a prize? Martin x

The emo scene (note ORIGINAL emo scene) originated from the DC hardcore scene, around the time most people refer to as "revolution summer". This took place summer 1984, and envolved bands such as Embrace (not that Embrace btw), Rites Of Spring and Dag Nasty. The emo scene came about in the DC scene when bands at the time got bored by the confines of hardcore (aka fast guitaring/screaming/songs only lasting a minute in length, lyrics being repetive and limited etc), and wanted to do something more musical and personal based (aka songs people could relate to). Hence the emo scene featured bands righting songs about friends, loved ones, personal political views and beliefs, songs that people had a real connection to. And for the record emo isn't just about whining about girlfriends, thats often just pop punk. If you want to find out more read Dance Of Days by Mark Andersen & Mark Jenkins, it gives a history of the DC scene as well as looking at events such as Nirvana making the alt-scene commercial and the effect on the punk scene etc. Martin x

I'll second that, a great release from a truly great Scottish band. Can't wait till Thursday, shall be a great gig. Roll on the next album!

I'll be there too can't wait to see Reuben again! MON THE REUBEN BIF!!! erm......

Nah, just common sense.

I'm going down to the glasgow date, got tickets for both Lemon Tree and King Tuts, if you don't mind me tagging along. I'm Martin BTW x

Straight from the horses mouth (so to speak) "Hello there, been a while. Alright? What's been happening with us, you say? Well... HR and Sony parted company by mutual consent at the end of August. This nicely coincided with some shows supporting New Found Glory, a very drunken Kerrang! Awards and a rather fantastic Carling Weekend. The shows were amazing - thanks to you if you were there and thanks to everyone who called or sent a text in response to our 'For Sale' backdrop and shirts, made for an entertaining afternoon! The HR track from the Sorepoint Records Smiths tribute album "How Soon Is Now" is released as a single this week and is OUT NOW! Handily enough, the HR cover is "How Soon Is Now" and on the CD and 7" you can also experience the joys of AC/DC's "Back In Black" (as performed for Zane Lowe on Radio One earlier this year) The Bangles' "Eternal Flame" and Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car". Also this week, Larry recorded Never Mind The Buzzcocks - he was on Bill Bailey's team with the legendary Toyah Wilcox. And what of the future? First off, HR are back on tour in November with the mighty Reuben, the majestic Twofold and the magnificent Dave House in support. As ever, don't delay - the first band will be on soon after doors open so GET THERE EARLY!

The track listing is still TBC, but you'll be able to luxuriate in ten tracks recorded on the March 2004 UK tour. And just to reiterate, this release will ONLY be available on tour. We're planning the first ever HR US release, hopefully in the next couple of months. It'll be a compilation of the two albums and details of label / release date etc will appear here as soon as they're confirmed. Beyond that, HR have been writing and demoing for the last six weeks or so. 'No Pretending' was the first song from these sessions to be played live, debuted over the New Found Glory / Carling Weekend shows and there's about an album's aorth of stuff in the can already. A new record deal and the next HR chapter should coincide nicely with the start of the new year. Brand new, shiny www.hundredreasons.com coming soon! See you in November." Exlusive live album! US compilation of both HR albums! New songs! Its not too obvious that I'm a fanboy.......is it?

My god, an attempt at constructive criticism (note no SARCASM). True emo no longer exists, only emo influenced bands. The original emo scene took place around "revolution summer" through to Sunny Day Real Estate an Texas Is The Reason taking the emo structure and adding pop sensibilities. The so-called emo scene now is really post-hardcore, with the misconception that emo is about whining about girlfriends. Emo actually stood for more personal lyrics,combining political beliefs with matters that music fans on the scene could relate to, instead of the typical hardcore lyrical approach of "smashing peoples skulls for doing drugs" etc. Emo came along and brought a breath of fresh air to the hardcore scene, and paved away for some of the best hardcore/post-hardore bands ever Refused/At The Drive-In etc. If you don't like Emo/Screamo/Post-hardcore/xXx etc just listen to something else. And for the record, I don't just listen to emo/post-hardcore/hardcore, but this is the kind of music I generaly relate to.

Only if you do it in a pink dress. (Don't ask..) 8o
