Do You Know Who You Are?
album by Texas Is the Reason
Do You Know Who You Are? is the only studio album by American rock band Texas Is the Reason. After finalizing their line-up, they wrote and released their self-titled debut EP in late 1995. Following that, they began recording their debut album at Oz Studios in Baltimore, Maryland, co-producing it with Jawbox member J. Robbins. Preceded by an east coast tour with labelmates Gameface, Do You Know Who You Are? was released on April 30, 1996 through Revelation Records. It was promoted with a European tour with Samiam, two US tours (one with labelmates Sense Field, the other with the Promise Ring), and a tour of Germany with Queerfish and Starmarket. Shortly after the Germany stint, the group broke up.
Do You Know Who You Are? is a emo, indie rock and post-hardcore release, drawing comparisons to Jawbox and Hüsker Dü.
