Reuben - Double CD & DVD Bonanza!! Plus new single 'Blitzkrieg'
On 24th August 2009 Reuben will release ‘We Should Have Gone To University’ on Xtra Mile Recordings; a double CD and DVD package featuring all their b-sides and a host of previously unreleased material. It has been lovingly assembled by the band together with Xtra Mile to create an epically comprehensive and nostalgic collection; a big thank you from the band to the fans.
Reuben decided to call it a day in June of last year, declaring an indefinite hiatus after years of battling the many pitfalls of the music industry whilst juggling ‘proper’ jobs that, in the end, simply wore them out. In their time together the cult three-piece from Aldershot, who had been together since 2001, released three studio albums – ‘Racecar Is Racecar Backwards’, ‘Very Fast Very Dangerous’ and ‘In Nothing We Trust’ - one DVD titled ‘What Happens In Aldershot, Stays In Aldershot’, two EPs and a host of singles (including a Christmas song), all to critical acclaim. They toured extensively, earning themselves not only recognition but a number of Radio One and MTV2 top spots as well as a Kerrang! award nomination for Best British Newcomer.
Their creative output in their time together amassed a wealth of music and film footage. From the first forays of their debut ‘Pilot’ EP in 2001 to the demos and out-takes from recording their third and final album in 2007; ‘We Should Have Gone To University’ is 47 tracks long, encompassing past releases, album demos, b-sides, live session tracks and previously unreleased gems. A must for any mourning Reuben fan and of course, any newcomers.
The DVD contains every promo video for their 15 singles and excellent live footage of their career-defining Main Stage set at Download Festival 2007.

‘We Should Have Gone To University’ is accompanied by the release of the single ‘Blitzkrieg’ – an anthemic rock/pop sing-a-long that was written and recorded but never before released. The video is a nostalgic look back with footage of the band playing live and messing about backstage unearthed from compiling the DVD for the box set.
“Excellent bludgeoning riffola” NME
“Lenman and co ensure that each and every song excels thanks to their own particular brand of Foo Fighters-style accessibility, raw metal power and classic songwriting.” Rocksound
‘Jaw dropping musicianship, severely warped tunes’ The Fly
Gutsy, passionate rocking...” Kerrang!
