Haste

Last updated: 2 days ago

Originally starting out as a five-piece act that incorporated metal and punk, Haste had that knack for sticking out a little in their hometown of Birmingham, AL. Born in 1995, the band would eventually play gigs with some bigger-name acts such as <a href="spotify:artist:4Bqt1X3kNYGUWtbs0fCKTB">Stuck Mojo</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5J17u3xQnvNm5GW5k50foj">New Bomb Turks</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6n6WP5en1QGUicqsP0kW0n">Turmoil</a>, among others, as well as going through a couple of lineup changes before fully settling with <a href="spotify:artist:46Pj7IDuIMcFBTlsxR6MrK">Jason Burns</a> (guitar), Nick Brunson (guitars), Brandon Thrasher (bass), Jeff Gardner (drums), and vocalists Kelly Reaves and <a href="spotify:artist:2G4NUHDWIJfuaHO31pHTXY">Chris Mosley</a>. Four years in the making, Haste's first full-length, Pursuit in the Face of Consequence, was released in 1999 through Century Media, <a href="spotify:artist:3gMaNLQm7D9MornNILzdSl">Lionel Richie</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1IQ2e1buppatiN1bxUVkrk">Slayer</a> covers included -- the latter done acoustically. When Reason Sleeps followed in early 2001 and The Mercury Lift appeared two years later. Dates with <a href="spotify:artist:2vd2HnNh4pdYa9gDVHFjEu">As I Lay Dying</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1FEgAMsvc3DM2OtT4dPn9i">Hopesfall</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:3rupHiSmFU8UikAJ3B27MH">Stretch Armstrong</a> were played in support before Reaves parted ways with the band in late 2003; instead of finding a replacement, <a href="spotify:artist:2G4NUHDWIJfuaHO31pHTXY">Mosley</a> subsequently took over all vocal duties. Haste were dropped from Century Media in mid-2005, and the group went on something of a hiatus; an announcement in early 2007 officially acknowledged their dissolution. ~ Mike DaRonco, Rovi
