Reach The Sky Biography
The Boston-based hardcore troupe of Reach the Sky combines a formula of fast-paced punk, hardcore breakdowns, and personal, sentimental lyrics. Consisting of Chris Chasse (guitar), Brendan Maguire (bass), Bob Mahoney (drums), and Ian Larrabee (vocals), the quartet released their debut EP Everybody's Home in 1999 through Victory Records. With comparisons to the likes of early Dag Nasty and Farside, their follow-up full-length So Far From Home followed later on that same year. The fierce driving sound of their third effort, Friends, Lies, and the End of the World, appeared in early 2001. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
