Biography

Throughout the early and mid 2000's, one of Connecticut's best up and coming hardcore bands was known as The Distance. Fronted by former Voice of Reason singer and label manager at Stillborn Records, Jay Reason, in their short career, The Distance made a huge splash. They self-released a demo (which was later released on vinyl by Takeover Records), put out their debut EP on Bridge 9 titled "Your Closest Enemies", a 3-way-split 7" with Outbreak and Some Kind of Hate, a split with With Honor (Martyr Records), and perhaps their most recognizable release, a collection for Think Fast! Records titled "If You Lived Here You'd Be Home Already". The effort compiled various odds and ends, as well as two brand new tracks which were heavily leaning in a more melodic direction than the fast and angry music that The Distance were well known for. The record received tons of great press, and The Distance would later go on to a more polished pop/rock sound which was criticized by their hardcore followers. Despite the critics, The Distance would stick around for several years, unapologetically doing things their own way, before ultimately disbanding in the late 2000's.
