• 4th Jul 2014

Reuben’s debut album Racecar is Racecar Backwards turned 10 on 21st June 2014 and to celebrate a decade of its joyful existence, Xtra Mile Recordings is releasing a two disc deluxe edition of the album later this year.

The second disc will be crammed full of completely unreleased radio sessions, demos, and interviews. They will be packaged together with new artwork, photographs and a booklet all commemorating this acclaimed debut album. Tracklisting and artwork will be revealed nearer the release date.

Cited as a major influence by many of today’s UK rock superstars, their influence on the UK rock scene is undeniable.

“When I hear the album now I’m always surprised how full of energy it sounds, since we were so exhausted when we made it” says guitarist and vocalist Jamie Lenman “I know some people say the production is scrappy but I thought and still think it’s pretty slick! I remember desperately not wanting our first album to be swept under the carpet, to be just a practice run for the second one. I wanted it to stand on its own and I think it does.”
