Hundred Reasons’ failure to transform critical plaudits into commercial success has baffled many of us, not least Sony who gave them the boot after the fantastic Shatterproof Is Not A Challenge album. Thankfully, they have a new home and have stuck to their guns. The Perfect Gift is really just another in a long line of emotion-drenched, sparkling rock songs but who would want it any other way. Hundred Reasons are a band who should be soundtracking a generation rather than dealing with record industry crap – so come on people, get with the programme.
