Reef is an English rock band that formed in Glastonbury, Somerset, in 1993. The band first gained prominence during the mid-90s Britpop movement, although their sound was more closely aligned with bluesy rock and hard rock, setting them apart from their contemporaries. Reef's initial success was propelled by the hit single "Place Your Hands," released in 1996, which became an anthem of the era, embodying the energy and spirit of 90s rock. The song was from their second album, "Glow," which reached the top position in the UK Albums Chart, marking the peak of their commercial success.

Throughout their career, Reef has been acclaimed for their energetic live performances and their ability to blend classic rock influences with a contemporary edge. Despite going through a hiatus in the early 2000s, the band reunited and continued to produce music, showcasing their evolving sound. Their recent releases, such as "Revelation," "My Sweet Love," and "Precious Metal," signal a band that has matured musically but has not lost its original vigor or passion for rock music. Reef's longevity in the music industry is a testament to their enduring appeal and the timeless quality of their music, appealing to both original fans and new generations of rock enthusiasts.
