Biography

Incorrect Spotify re-direction to the British producer Distance.

Band Information (new bio being added shortly)

Jay Reason has grown up in the punk scene. He is now a man in his 20’s and his voice as well as what he has to say has matured quite a bit. The Distance, which Reason fronts has also matured, their upcoming full-length The Rise, The Fall And Everything In Between is a mesh of melodic driving pop hooks, fully fleshed out arrangements and built upon a foundation of speedy punk energy. “I call it my attention deficit disorder record” says Reason, which is an accurate description when you hear his radio-ready croon over power pop chords that open up seamlessly into galloping, pogo-friendly punk/hardcore aggression. Styles constantly crash into each other within the same song and even stranger is the fact that it works!

Reason initially cut his teeth in the band Voice Of Reason which was a popular melodic hardcore band that had releases on Triple Crown and Stillborn Records. Some time after that group finished their tenure, The Distance formed in 2003. Channeling through their aggressive youth, an EP and split alongside With Honor appeared on Bridge 9 Records. The band also achieved a fair amount of touring, hitting almost all fifty states. Shortly after their last release everything in Reason’s world fell apart including the dissolution of a five year relationship with his then fiancée. “We didn’t do much for a year and a half while I tried to sort my life out. I did end up writing many of the songs that appear on the new album while going through that period.

    The split they did with With Honor was fucking great, did they really change their sound that much afterwards? Shame if they did.
