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.

The Counter Armada

Through numerous lineup changes and over a year of writing and practicing, The Counter Armada is settled in what is now a band composed of members with unquestionable talent. Multi-instrumental members Nate Ruby (vocals, guitar), Dylan Austin (guitar), Gabe Glass (drums, vocals), and Josh Shaw (bass) combine to perform a very diverse set at every show. The lyrical content of each song ranges from sardonic and sarcastic comments to themes of activism and humor based social commentary; genres from alternative to grunge to pop punk and everything in between, but never the same thing twice.
