[theflowersaredead]

have they been given a slot for Reading yet?
i'm not sure
they better be asked to play at reading... or i will cry

[Biblical]

when is their single coming out and album, im getting a little impatient

[theflowersaredead]

from their site... updated on thursday... (their record deal fell through jus before they were about to sign to the label)

"Well, what is going on with Reuben? We appreciate that you haven’t seen a lot happening for a while, so here’s what we’re doing...

The album is finished, but we’re waiting for the proper contracts to be sorted out by our lawyers so we can get our hands on it, which is taking its time. Meanwhile, we’ve recorded some b sides for our next single, Freddy Kreuger, which also has a finished video, but we can’t set about releasing it until we have the album in our clutches because they will be released at a very similar time.

We won’t be playing any shows until we get a tour sorted out to promote the new single, but we can’t sort out a tour until we’ve got the single sorted, and we can’t get the single sorted until we’ve got the album, so it’s all a bit of a knock on effect.

So what are we doing whilst waiting for the album? Well, we’ve been rehearsing an awful lot, and we already have six new songs which will eventually go on the second album. They are all brilliant, apart from one, which is frankly a bit embarrassing.

So, that’s what’s happening. But before you know it, the single will be out, we’ll be on tour, and you’ll have the album in your CD player. We’re all very very pleased with it, and you will be too."

Good good, saw them in November at the Garage, and frankly, they were great. Surprised they're not bigger than they are, they have the same kind of sound as FFAF, lostprophets, Hundred Reasons (from what I remember) but they're nowhere near their popularity...

Strange...

Reuben are amazing. I love their new single. They just got signed and have announced a tour and all that kind of crap- they're kicking off.

[Reuben]

Oh! Sorry, I thought you were talking about me!!! He he! Yes, I know the band you're talking about...and yes, they are pretty good!!! I love "Words From Reuben"...stunning, purely stunning!!!!!! Look forward to their new album!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Britrock]

Album at the end of the month - Racecar is Racecar Backwards. :D Single in a few weeks, and a big tour (although no London date yet, which is weird and annoying).

[theflowersaredead]

wah! reuben - just thought i'd update you all on the band that are cited to might just take over the world of rock by rocksound :D...

record deal is all signed up good and proper! finally!

new single out 31st may - freddy krueger - cracking single - do ur damn best to get ur grubby mitts on a copy cos this band are destined for big things... (this is turning into one big plug - not that i care - if i was prime minister every household in the country would be obliged to buy a copy - the cost of which would be added to their tax bill - wat a treat that would be)

anyhow - i WILL stop now

Went on the board and signed myself up.
Very nice!
Just like the way the muse board used to look all those years ago...
*remenices*

I like it muchly! :D
And Of course it was you I meant, Reuben. I love you.
It also happens that I love the band too!!

[kaz_tigg]

l love reuben! they live quite near me. my friends are in the video too :)

[4Q Im Manx]

:) bought racecar is racecar backwards today. I love it.

[tokyo+1]

this band ROCK
anyone else loving this trio hailing from aldershot who deserve big things?

I saw them live a while back. I highly recommend them for their live performance. My friend Paul got an picture taken with them afterward. They were stellar.

[theflowersaredead]

:) bought racecar is racecar backwards today. I love it.

i got it too - seriously it rocks...
if anyone else here has heard a bit of reuben stuff and fancies tasting some more you should definitely check this out... obviously dont go downloading all the tracks off of kazaa... that would just be wrong!
but yeh - some funky artwork complete with lyrics.
i havent stopped listening to it since i got it

[DannyJay]

I saw the video for 'Lets Stop Hanging Out' a few years ago on tv, I was impressed then! its great that eventually they have managed to get signed cause I know that they have had songs ready for an album for while now! its just a shame that im going to Glastonbury and have managed to get myself in a little bit of debt so i cant get the album :'(

[4Q Im Manx]

the Reuben Movement - Reading festival 2004. click here (http://www.wordsfromreuben.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=774) Get behind it, it should work.

[Nancuk]

I got the album- it's fab. It's so nice to see some of the great songs I've been listening to for ages finally on a proper album.

[Kajeeves]

I met Guy at Soulwax in Portsmouth on tuesday. He was reeallly nice, me and my mate were talking to him for ages about what they're doing next and stuff.
There's a possibility of an album/tour in April but they're trying to sort out a new agent at the mo because their current one does Razorlight and some other people so he's too busy. He says they've been listening back to a few tracks off the new album and they sound great, and it's supposed to be a bit different from racecar.

[Kajeeves]

:eek: double post gheyness.

Reuben are live on Zane Lowe's radio show right aboot now, spreading teh rock, complianing about d&b.

\m/

[Jonesy]

So then folks, who has their mitts on the new album? It truly is very fast and very dangerous. Pure class in a glass.

[RadioBread]

i need to get both the albums, i have been meaning to get the first one for ages. they are real mainstream contenders now, judging from what i have heard off the new album

[Jonesy]

The thing is, it's hard to really put your finger on why Rueben didn't become as well known from their first album as, say, Hundred Reasons. Similar sort of genre and IMO Reuben are far superior. I have a feeling Reuben will stay at the same sort of level and whatsmore they'll be quite content to do so. They love what they do, they're awesome guys, and they seem to enjoy playing small places where they can mingle and meet people. Legends!

[LJR]

very fast very dangerous is sold out in all of shitty wrexham :indiff:

What was the complaint?

[Jonesy]

The complaint, so says the song on the new album is that 'Every time a teenager listens to drum n bass a rockstar dies'. Possibly the most long-winded title ever!! Amazing song live...... and on CD for that matter. Reuben rule.

What happens when a twenty-something listens to drum & bass?

[Festie]

Racecar Is Racecar Backwards. Good album :happy:

[christoph]

At Reading, someone came upto me and said I looked like the singer from Reuben. Which is a bad thing.

:(

[LJR]

Jamie Lenman is hawt :LOL:

[Jonesy]

Jamie Lenman is slightly shall we say, 'plumper', than he looks on tv!! He's a legend though.

[LJR]

I got VFVD the other day; it seriously kicks ass!

[Kajeeves]

I got it the other day aswell, it seriously rocks the big one.

My only complaint is that they made the title of my favourite song uberly long. Forcing me to tell people I like "Return of the Jedi" better.

...ETATLTD&BARD
...hrmm, Etat limited & Bard. I likes it.

[LJR]

every time a teenager listens to drum and bass a rockstar dies

best song title ever!

[Jonesy]

every time a teenager listens to drum and bass a rockstar dies

best song title ever!

Not to mention the fattest song on the album in my humble opinion! Pure class. Seeing them again in a couple of weeks, can't wait.

[Beddo]

Return of the Jedi rocks some serious metal socks! - has anyone here got the pilot EP?

[Nuwelle]

They were openers for Billy Talent and I loved them

[Pandaren]

Thought I'd bump this as they have new stuff coming out soon and they are one of my favourite bands.

The boys have just created their own record label called Hideous Records which they hope to release their future albums, DVDs and whatever on: http://www.hideousrecords.com/

They have a DVD titled 'Whatever Happens In Aldershot, Stays In Aldershot', which will be released on the 5th of March. It contains "A SHORT FILM ABOUT UNDERGROUND BRITISH ROCK IN 2006. ALSO FEATURING 80 MINUTE ACTION PACKED LIVE LONDON SHOW". You can also buy this DVD in advance at some of their February gigs.

Their third album is recorded and they're basically just finishing the mixing and all that at the moment. If you go to www.myspace.com/wordsfromreuben then you can watch the videos that they have filmed of their recording time which are hilarious to be honest.

Hopefully someone actually finds all this useful :happy:

[slaychickenstoday]

I've recently got into this band and I think they are awesome. I think they blend elements of grunge and punk together as well as adding in their own touches to develop an original sound. Does anyone else like them and/or have any tracks to recommend to me?

[Chaos Is Me!]

freddy kreuger!!

[Pandaren]

Video up for the new single here: http://www.wordsfromreuben.com/2007holding/index.php

Single is out 18th of June and the new album on the 25th of June. Can't bloody wait.

[Pandaren]

Completely blown away by the new album, can now quite easily say that they are my favorite band.

Here are some lovely videos of them at Download -

And here's a rather funny video of them doing an acoustic version of Keep It To Yourself, with Jamie being incredibly posh (it's low quality but you can make it out) -

[butterflies and hurrijames]

The new album is brilliant.
Really dynamic.
Heavier, lighter, weirder.

[YellowSphere]

Reuben are awesome.

[Pandaren]

New album out today, GO BUY IT!

[BurnsLikeTheSun]

"All this Eighties Indie sounds like shit to me. 'Coz I don't like Joy Division, I don't like Morrissey, or their new impersonators, kings of MTV, suckling at the teat of the fucking enemy, and I can't move on..."

Not only does it have the best song title ever,

'Crushed Under The Weight Of The Enormous Bullshit' has the best and truest lyrics ever.

[Firebaptist]

Their new album is FANTASTIC

I'm in love with it already :happy:

I really want to see them live on their UK tour so badly, but they're not playing anywhere near me :(

[butterflies and hurrijames]

I'm seeing them in Brighton. Shall be good.
I hope this album does well for them
It deserves it.

[Fezb0b]

The new album is brilliant, particularly loving Deadly Lethal Ninja Assassin=dead catchy, Good Luck=Nice n soft ballady type, Cities on Fire-goes between brutal and beautiful and An Act of Kindness is great too. Fuck it, it's all great!

[zinterz]

Havn't heard the new album, but I should be seeing them at the Birmingham Carling Academy in September :)

[Pandaren]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH2umxtA_sc

Get them to number one you slags.

[Kajeeves]

Christmas single!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH2umxtA_sc

This is going to be the frickin' rockingest christmas evar!

[Kajeeves]

Ahahhaa

[Firebaptist]

Brilliant :LOL:

[zinterz]

Saw them live last Tuesday, they were immense! That's twice I've seen them, always a good crowd pleaser, rockin' out the place! :D The second support act were good too actually, which is a rarity within my opinions of support acts. They also played 3 songs as an acoustic version, which pleased me :)

[Pandaren]

I regret to announce that Reuben are unable to play their slot on the 2000 Trees Festival in July, but they would still urge people to go anyway - it should be a great weekend. They are very sorry to disappoint fans who have already bought tickets, as you can imagine Reuben hate cancelling shows. The band are all in good health but the culmination of several pressures just makes it impossible for Jamie to go ahead with it.

The band are not planning any more gigs or releases for the foreseeable future - I should make it clear that the band members are all on amicable terms and are supportive of the need to call a halt.

This seems like a good time to thank everyone who has helped and encouraged Reuben along the way; some of you have been there from the start, others from last week, some are within the music industry, others are simply fans - it doesn't matter which, you are all important and have given great strength to all concerned.

Thank you so much,

Barney
Geronimo! Management

Shit :'( Seems like they're on a possibly permanent hiatus. I am absolutely gutted if this is the end for them.

Reuben can't split up / go on hiatus! No fucking way :( That's shit :'(

[harvay]

The most under appreciated band in the UK

[butterflies and hurrijames]

Agreed!!!

[THEUSA2DAY]

i like ther songs jahy

[Pandaren]

Rarities album was announced today.

Hallo there! Well, it’s been cooking for nearly a year now and it’s been tough keeping it a secret, but it’s finally here and we can now announce a big present for you all for being so great to us over the years – a 2 CD, 1 DVD set of Reuben b sides, rarities and videos.

Hilariously entitled “We Should Have Gone To University”, it’s being put out by our old chums Xtra Mile, and is pretty darn comprehensive. The full track listing will be revealed exclusively on http://www.kerrang.com at mid-day today, so be sure to log on and check it out, but until then rest assured that we filled up all three discs until it was physically impossible to get any more on there. No, really!

It’ll be available in shops and to download on the 24th of August but if you can’t quite wait that long you can pre-order now from http://www.xtramilerecordings.com and receive your copy TEN DAYS before it hits the shelves! Simply log on to

http://www.xtramilerecordings.com/specials.php?osCsid=fd91d2bdbbde0c1859527ca488da88 de

In the mean time, you might like to check out our new video for ‘lost’ track Blitzkrieg, put together in the spirit of the compilation out of old bits and bobs we weren’t sure what to do with. Take a look at

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7sk7LkTDOY

Also look out for a new-look website to support the release, which should be available to view from Monday at http://www.wordsfromreuben.com, with even more content to be rolled out in the near future. Cheers, Ric!

Well, that’s pretty much it for now – we hope you’re as excited as we are about it all...don’t forget to pre-order your copy, check out Kerrang for the tracklisting and the Blitzkrieg video on Yoochoob.

You’ll probably hear from us again on the 24th, but till then, have fun!


Your best friends,

Jamie, Jon and Guy.

Completely out of the blue, I honestly can't believe we're going to get new Reuben stuff. I'm so happy!

[Wind Sorcerer]

Getting into them as we speak. They sound ridiculously awesome.

[Obi]

I would marry Jamie Lenman. :LOL:

[Wind Sorcerer]

Return Of The Jedi is amazing. So is We Are All Going Home In A Hospital. And Lights Out. And pretty much anything I've heard by 'em.
My goodness, this band is/was awesome.

[Deano.]

Frank Turner recorded and posted a cover of Christmas Is Awesome by this band on Christmas day, thats the only reason ive even heard of them :LOL:. Gonna give them a listen tonight i think :happy:

[Obi]

Bit of info for those into Frank Turner - Frank Turner was Reuben's official merch guy for many years. True story. :)

Jamie Lenman has also played touring guitar for Biffy in the past, and produced videos by Frank, Sucioperro and others. Oh and Frank Turner is in Reuben's Deadly Lethal Ninja Assassin video. I think that covers it :LOL:

This was Jamie's response:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnNnXshsYoc

I literally find Jamie funnier than anyone I know in real life. Someone I knew met him, and
he genuinely isn't a twat like a lot of these folks are as well, which is nice. :happy:

[Wind Sorcerer]

Boredom.

1) Suffocation Of The Soul
2) Return Of The Jedi
3) Boy
4) We're All Going Home In An Ambulance
5) Freddy Krueger
6) Deadly Lethal Ninja Assassin
7) Lights Out
8) Every Time A Teenager Listens To Drum And Bass, A Rockstar Dies
9) Cities On Fire
10) Moving To Blackwater.

In Nothing We Trust is a ridiculously good record.
