Reign is a band I played in in the late 90's. My friend Barry Stone and I wanted to start playing again, and he and I started getting together to write songs. It was originally going to be a recording project, not a steady band but it evolved into one.
We recruited a drummer we had played with in the past but after a few practices he bailed. For a while we scratched our heads trying to figure out where we going to get a good drummer, when one fell into our laps. I was bitching about needing a drummer at work one day and my friend Nelson said he knew somebody. He called Randy on the spot and we agreed to get together.
We played together for about three years, until Barry got called up and had to go to war in Irag. (Yes, he's a hero.) We did two CD's, and have another one unfinished, gotta get around to finalizing it someday.
I guess you could describe Reign as a Progressive Power Trio. We wrote some pretty good songs, Barry and I. We recorded most of the first CD, "The Return" in my friend Kevins studio, except for the title number which was the first song I did in my own studio. The second CD, "Royal Jam" is a compilation of rehearsal recordings I thought turned out good. "In Serenity's Wake" came from one of those sessions. "Red House" is another rehearsal recording that I thought was worth keeping, give it a listen.
