After agreeing to headline the opening night of Revelation Records 25th Anniversary Festival in early 2013, Texas Is The Reason will begin an exclusive North American run to support the release of a remastered discography collection featuring the band s entire recorded output, as well as two never-released songs their final songs ever!<br><br>They came from some of the most popular hardcore bands of the early 90s (Shelter, 108, Resurrection), but by the time Texas Is The Reason formed in 1994, a new aesthetic crystallized almost instantly. Only one year later, when Revelation Records released the self-titled EP, the band was headlining tours in America and well on their way to defining a new moment in post-punk.<br><br>In April 1996, the band reinforced that initial success with their first and only album, produced by Jawbox s J. Robbins and named after the last words that John Lennon was alleged to have heard. In the years since, SPIN, Alternative Press, and Paste would all go on to call Do You Know Who You Are? an essential 90s album. Unfortunately, after a year of heavy promotion and touring, inner-band tension came to a head and Texas Is The Reason officially split in 1997. Its members would go on to form Jets To Brazil, New End Original, and Solea.<br><br>Since then, the band has reunited only once for two sold-out New York City shows in 2006 but their presence has barely waned: newer generations of bands like Spitalfield, Into It. Over It., and Transit have covered songs over the years, and vets like Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, and Armor For Sleep have all publicly cited their influence.
