The Reasonable Men, an alternative pop band from Vancouver, Canada, trace their beginnings to Colin's living room in 2003, where he and Alex banged out a 12-song concept album based on Jim Roogle, a tragic hero from the Old West. The project was shelved indefinitely in 2006 when the two decided to recruit a few more members - the current 5-piece lineup is the result.
The band draws inspiration from 60’s songcraft (The Beatles, The Beach Boys) as well as modern indie-rock (Pavement, The Dandy Warhols). Synths and guitars intertwine with a driving rhythm section to form their mongrel of a sound.
The band's busy schedule of packed shows at venues like the Backstage Lounge and the Buffalo Club means the Reasonable Men are quickly making a name for themselves in the Vancouver music scene. With the recent release of their self-titled EP, it's easy to see that the band is moving towards something bigger.
"[T]he Reasonable Men surprised me with both their skill and a diversity of influences which shows a lot of promise for such a young band", says Jordie Yow of Streethawk Magazine, in a recent show review. And there's enough energy at their shows to power a mid-range refrigerator for three weeks. There's only one thing I can suggest:
Be reasonable.
