UK post-hardcore band Hundred Reasons have signed to V2, according to their official website.

The five-piece were dropped by Sony in 2004 after the release of their second album, Shatterproof is Not A Challenge, and had this to say about the signing:

We're happy that we're signing to V2 - they've seemed the natural choice for us since we first met them. As a label they speak a lot of sense (which is rare!) and with them behind us world domination is once again within our grasp.

The band also announced plans to release a new album in early 2006. Guitarist Larry commented:

The next album is shaping up to be one angry bastard of a rock record, the product of a very frustrating twelve months. We can't wait to get it released and for us to get back on tour where we belong.

Dates for an autumn tour of the UK will be announced soon.
