Reuben
Reuben was an English three-piece musical group from Camberley, Surrey.
Their music was a fusion of alternative rock and heavy metal, as their songs cover a variety of styles, ranging from heavy and upbeat, such as their 2005 single "Blamethrower" to slower, more melodic songs such as their 2004 single "Moving to Blackwater".
The former style of song often featured vocalist Jamie Lenman switching between shouting and whispering, a technique often used in heavy metal and post-hardcore music.
The band gained respect in the UK underground music scene, and were known for the devotion to their fans and their fans' devotion to the band.
Reuben never achieved mainstream success, due to never charting in the UK Top 40, but still gained minor achievement by charting four singles in the UK Singles Chart.
their highest charting single being 2004's "Freddy Kreuger" that reached UK No. 53.In June 2008, Reuben entered a state of indefinite hiatus.
Fans were emailed by the band manager, making them aware of the hiatus, assuring them that this was not the end for Reuben.Formation and early demosThe band formed in 1998 when singer/guitarist Jamie Lenman and bassist Jon Pearce originally played with Producer Jason Wilson (Stakeout Studios) on drums as Angel, sharing local stages with many bands, one of which would become Hundred Reasons.
Between 1998 and 2000, Angel recorded and self-released a string of limited edition demos.
The songs and artwork of one of these demos, Betrayed, was available to download via the band's website.
Many Angel songs were used as b-sides to Reuben singles.
