Hundred Reasons return

Hundred Reasons mark their return with stunning fourth album Quick The Word, Sharp The Action and an exclusive track give away on iTunes. The epic and anthemic No Way Back will be available to download for free from 16th October, when it will be Single Of The Week on iTunes.

No Way Back is taken from 'Quick…Sharp', an album hewn from a particularly bleak period in the band's history; friends tragically died, a founding member left, Colin was told he might never sing again. It's the cathartic outpouring of a band going through a heartbreaking time but coming out the other side, stronger, better and smiling all the way.

Recorded in a studio in Latvia, once again with Larry recording, engineering and mixing the album, it is perhaps unsurprisingly, an album of dark, emotional lyrics; Colin drawing on the experiences of the past year to create his most affecting work to date. He's a man with a lot to say, perhaps because he'd been told he might not get the opportunity to say it. Musically, Hundred Reasons embrace fresh ideas and move forward, unashamedly trying new things, and experimenting with their trademark sound. It is their most comprehensive and cohesive album to date.

The first chance to hear songs from "Quick... Sharp..." live will be when Hundred Reasons appear as very special guests on Enter Shikari's huge UK tour throughout October and November.

It's been an undeniably tough period. Never ones to dwell, Hundred Reasons have picked themselves up, dusted themselves down, and come back with a killer album. This is the sound of a band who have battled the odds stacked against them and once again come back ready to rock.
