Reuben was a British rock band that gained a cult following for their hard-hitting and dynamic sound, combining elements of punk, alternative rock, and post-hardcore. The band formed in 1998 in Camberley, Surrey, featuring Jamie Lenman on guitar and vocals, Jon Pearce on bass and vocals, and Guy Davis on drums. Known for their energetic live shows and the passionate vocal delivery of frontman Lenman, Reuben carved out a distinct niche in the UK rock scene.
The band's discography includes several albums that showcase their growth as a unit, with "Racecar is Racecar Backwards" (2004) and "Very Fast Very Dangerous" (2005) earning them critical acclaim for their intricate songwriting and musical versatility. 2007's "In Nothing We Trust" was seen as a high watermark creatively, despite not gaining the commercial success it arguably deserved. After this, the band released retrospectives, such as "We Should Have Gone to University," a compilation that served as a bittersweet farewell compendium of B-sides, live sessions, and rarities following their split in 2008. Even post-breakup, the impact of their music continues to resonate with fans, thanks to the emotional depth and technical prowess that Reuben brought to the UK rock scene.
