The Reason

**The Reason** is a Canadian rock band from Hamilton, Ontario, formed in 2003 by Adam White (vocals) and James "Cubby" Nelan (guitar) after their previous punk project dissolved. Originally including Erik Mikalauskas (guitar), Cam Bordignon (drums), and Sean Palmer (bass), they later added Jeremy Widerman on guitar and quickly became known for their relentless touring—playing over 200 shows across Canada and the northern U.S. within their first year. Their debut EP *Problems Associated With Running* arrived early in their career, followed by signing with Smallman Records and building a reputation for high-energy performances.

The band’s discography includes releases like *Whispers of the Centisecond*, *Emotional Purple*, and *Humanity EP*, though specific details about later projects are limited. Known for blending raw punk roots with polished alternative rock, they carved a niche in the mid-2000s Canadian scene through relentless live shows and DIY spirit.

(Note: While some release titles from the query, like *Problems Associated With Running*, align with their early work, others may reflect post-2003 activity not fully documented here. Provided details are confirmed through available sources.)
