Reach the Sky was an American hardcore punk band from Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
History
[edit]Reach the Sky formed in 1997, and they released two EPs in 1999; their debut full-length, So Far From Home, followed on Victory Records later that same year.[2] After the release of So Far From Home, Dan Tammik left the band, and guitarist Brendan Maguire took over on bass.[3] Their second full-length, Friends, Lies, and the End of the World, was issued in 2001, and the group toured Canada after the album's release.[4] In 2002, their debut EP was remastered and reissued with bonus tracks. They broke up in 2003. In 2009, they reformed with a slightly different line up: Ian, Stu, Bob and Zach Jordan of Bane.
Bob went on to become a member of Bane, and Ian later founded Stand Accused. Stu became a touring manager, working with Sick of it All, Dropkick Murphys and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. He went on to play in Bane before dying of cancer in June 2021.
