They make emotive music reminiscent of a more accessible mid-late 90’s emo(Sunny Day Real Estate, Get Up Kids) mixed with elements of post-hardcore. The band formed in 2005 and shortly after featured on Fierce Panda records with their track 'Plagiarism is the New Theft' appearing on their ‘Glowing Underground’ 7 inch release.

Texas Is the Reason

Texas Is the Reason was a post-hardcore band founded by former Shelter guitarist Norm Arenas and 108 drummer Chris Daly in 1994. A foundational quartet in the post-Sunny Day Real Estate movement of emo music, Texas Is the Reason played melodious but forceful rock music before disbanding in 1997. Norm Arenas (guitar), guitarist for the hardcore Hare Krishna band Shelter, formed Texas Is the Reason with friend and then fellow Hare Krishna devotee Chris Daly (drums), formerly of the band 108, which played music of a similar kind to Shelter's, some time in the early 1990s in New York City.
