Hundred Reasons

Hundred Reasons are a British rock band from Surrey, originally signed to Columbia Records in mid-April 2001 after fourteen months of near-constant touring.

Their debut album Ideas Above Our Station reached number 6 in the UK album chart, spawned several Top 40 singles and has since gone gold in the UK. The band went on to tour extensively throughout Europe and Japan. Despite selling 35,000 copies of their second album Shatterproof Is Not A Challenge they were dropped by Sony BMG in June 2004.

Hundred Reasons signed to V2 Records in September 2005. Their third album Kill Your Own - produced by guitarist Larry Hibbitt - was released on March 20, 2006 to critical acclaim.

On August 9, 2006 it was announced on the band's official website that guitarist and vocalist Paul Townsend would be leaving the band following their tour of Japan in early September. The departure is said to be "totally amicable", and Ben Doyle of The Lucky Nine has since joined the band as guitarist.

The band's fourth album, Quick the Word, Sharp the Action, was released on October 15, 2007. Less than a month after the album's release, V2 Records was bought over by Universal, leaving the band, once again, without a label. Because of this, no further singles were released from the record.

In January 2008, the band announced plans to buy back the album, and re-release it on another label in May.[3] As of July 2008, there has been no re-release.
