2000 proved to be one hell of a year for Hundred Reasons. It all started off the back of a 4-track demo landing on the desk of the Kerrang! bods. They then landed the main support slot to Kittie at the Garage in March (their 3rd ever live show), which brought them to the attention of independently hip Fierce Panda Records. They then went on to release their debut single "Cerebra" (through Fierce Panda) in July. They completed their first Kerrang! sponsored tour and then performed with plethora of up and coming talent from the US and the UK including The Get Up Kids, The Crocketts, Miocene, Boy Sets Fire and Garrison as well as a slot at the Lost Weekend held at the London Arena.

Not satisfied with being one of the most talked about new bands in the UK with a gaggle of A&R men hotly in persuit of band, they promptly marched off with the Best New British Band Award at the Kerrang! Awards in August and firmly planted themselves into the minds of many.

One would be fooled into thinking that they are now resting firmly on their laurels. You'd be wrong. They spent most of December in the studio writing and recording new material in-between the various tours and one-off shows since the Summer. This outcome of these sessions has left the guys armed with an arsenal of new material, ready to storm into 2001. Since January the band have played an Evening Session tour in Scotland, supported Idlewild and played with US outfit Rival Schools. They have recently signed a worldwide record deal with Sony Music off-shoot - Columbia Records.
