There are at least three groups going under this name, one being a hip hop group from Australia, one is a Beijing based instrumental Emo band, the third being described as the following.
Long time friends Adam White and Jonny “Ronson” Armstrong formed Hamilton, Ontario-based The Reason in the Canadian winter of 2003 from the ashes of various bands the two had played in while they were growing up in Windsor Ontario. With a new found inspiration and desire to play and tour, The Reason began to write songs and immediately released their first EP - Problems Associated With Running. The band then took their jet propelled, near self-imploding stage show on the road. In the 12 months that followed, the band played over 200 shows across Canada and the northern USA and quickly developed a confidence and professionalism well beyond their short existence.
This confidence encouraged the band to repeatedly try to convince Smallman Records to come and see their live show in January 2004. When Smallman did show up, the band did not disappoint. Their show had all the dedicated intensity that the label was looking for, including an unfortunate post show hospital trip for White due to a torn lip from his over-enthusiastic performance.
With a label now in place, White and Nelan along with Jeremy Widerman(guitar), Cam Bordignon (drums) and Ronson Armstrong (Bass), went into the Music Gym in Burlington ON to record their first full length entitled Ravenna. The new album reflected the band’s continued self-assurance in themselves and in their song writing abilities. “We were writing in avenues and musical styles that we hadn’t ventured into before,” says White of the songs that appear on Ravenna.

this band is sooo much more than a fucking collaboration with sara quinn. Sure the song is great but there is so much more to these guys than that. all of you people on here praising sara grab a brain and show this band some much deserved respect. [2]

This band is awesome. I admit I started listening because I was a Tegan and Sara, but when I listened to We're So Beyond I was very impressed with the lead singer's voice. I'm a fairly new fan to their stuff and just starting to discover what a great band they are.
