Texas Is The Reason
Do You Know Who You Are? (color)
Repressed on opaque orange vinyl! Single vinyl version out of print since 2001.
They came from some of the most popular, if not polarizing hardcore bands of the early '90s (SHELTER, 108,
RESSURECTION), but by the time TEXAS IS THE REASON formed in 1994, a new aesthetic crystallized almost instantly and
reduced its members' previous efforts to history. Indeed, it was only a year later when Revelation Records released the
band's self-titled EP - their name derived from a lyric in the MISFITS song "Bullet" - that TEXAS IS THE REASON were
already headlining their own tours in America and well on their way to defining a new moment in post-punk.
In April of 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: Do You Know Who You Are? 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 for the record, 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
ATLANTIC/PACIFIC. And now, for the first time in almost 25 years, Do You Know Who You Are? is available again as a
stand-alone LP, returning this classic to its original form.
