   About Reach

REACH are emerging as one of South Africa’s up & coming rock acts. The band comprises of seasoned musicians who found their musical feet in both legendary international and local bands such as THE USED (Greg Bester), SHIFTY and F…etc (Basil Byrne, Marc Wainstein, Dave Smith). The album was recorded and mixed at Shifted Audio and is a shining example of the talent that is coming out of South Africa both on the performance and production side. Their songwriting and sound can be likened with the phenomenal JIMMY EAT WORLD, with an emotive rollercoaster of personal and hearfelt lyrics, coupled with the catchy riffs and complex drumming which defines this genre. They also show their range and understanding of their genre with an outstanding acoustic track completing the soundscape.

"“Fire and Grace is the debut album of this up-and-coming, highly talented South African band. Their first single, So Long (Goodbye), is doing well on local radio stations. Emotional lyrics and brilliant drumming ensure the album doesn’t disappoint. It will put Reach on the map as one of the most gifted bands in the country right now” - YOU MAGAZINE!

“Local boy and frontman Greg Bester jammed guitar and vocals, co-wrote, recorded, produced and then mixed this top hard-rock album! It’s no one-man band though. Fire and Grace is kick ass awesomeness that smacks emo right in the chops, without crossing into punk or diving into the realm of eye-bleeding metal” – FHM!

"Passionately created and masterfully crafted, Reach's debut album takes you on an unexpected journey. Serene and relaxing at one moment, riveting and awakening the next, but continously exciting and captivating throughout." – Purity Magazine!!

“… the CD let’s us experience all aspects of Reach and long time fans, like me, will adore it” – ROCKFINDER MAGAZINE!!

1st single SO LONG (GOODBYE) has already been featured in Gareth Cliff, DJ Fresh and Koula’s shows on 5FM. It was also Katherine’s “treffer of the day” and received a resounding positive reaction with 87% of the votes saying it rocked! The single has also been selected for a national Ad Campaign for Suzuki’s new 4 x 4, which flights on on MNET, SABC, DSTV and ETV. Reach are steadily building their profile through live gigs and are readily performing alongside Prime Circle, The Parlotones, Fuzigish, Knave, The Narrow and more. National album tour commencing 4 October 08 at The DOORS, with The Narrow & Inersha, National PR campaign activating the album in key publications.

I'm Fiona,
but no one really
ever calls me that...
its generally Fi.
lol :]

I've been planning on
going to Season's for
soooo long, so I wouldn't
have a problem with taking
pics... however my boss
told me today I may have
to work, which is a real
bummer!
I'm trying my hardest to
get out of it... haha!

But, I'm studying photography,
so if I don't happen to catch
you guys at Seasons, I'm sure
we could arrange some other time?

Doesn't necessarily have to be live,
it could be anywhere really :]
lol.
