Reason Define

**Reason Define** is a dynamic rock outfit hailing from Texas, known for their blend of alternative rock and post-hardcore energy. Formed in 2017, the band is fronted by powerhouse vocalist Kaiti Yacktin, whose emotive delivery pairs seamlessly with their mix of melodic hooks and gritty riffs. They’ve carved out a reputation for raw, high-octane live shows and a DIY ethos, often tackling themes of self-discovery, resilience, and emotional turmoil in their lyrics. Tracks like “Reaper” and “Kingdom” showcase their knack for balancing heavy grooves with soaring choruses, while their unplugged take on “Ghost Lights” highlights their versatility.

The band gained traction with their 2020 EP *In Memory…* and solidified their sound with releases like “Mirrors” and “Pointing Fingers,” which lean into introspective storytelling. Their cover of The Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go” pays homage to their influences while adding a modern twist. Reason Define has shared stages with acts like Too Close to Touch and Picturesque, building a loyal fanbase they affectionately call “The Defined.” Whether they’re cranking up the distortion or stripping things back, their music feels like a heartfelt conversation with listeners riding the same emotional waves.
