Defined by strong melodies and imaginative song-writing, Reach
are always developing their sound, keen to remain ahead of the
curve with songs that are both exciting and unique. The trio is
characterized by a mutual love of music and a sense of
development and genuine joy, that is, and always will be, the very
essence of Reach.
The bond that connects the three musicians is captured in their
explosive and unforgettable live shows: their innate musical ability
bolstered by their sense of playfulness, improvisation and love for
what they do. By releasing a series of singles last year, Reach has
been defining the start of a new musical era and let their listeners
into the alluring, ghostlike and gritty world they create around them
and their music. With each single, they have been challenging their
listeners by showcasing next level of the experimental songwriting
and powerful storytelling that is Reach.
The band’s new album, ‘The Promise of a Life’, is the end result of
trio that approach their art with no holds barred, anything goes in
the pursuit of the perfect song, and ‘The Promise of a Life ’is
packed with just that; from the anthemic ‘The Law’, to the equally
epic ‘Motherland’, onto the hook-laden ‘Higher Ground ’or the
wonderfully eccentric ‘New Frontier'. This is an album that wears its
heart on its sleeve. There’s echoes of the majestic Queen
intertwined with modern pop sheen of Muse, expertly corralled into
a unique, fresh package by a young band that have no fear.
