SONG: "Find A Reason"
ARTIST: The Grizzly Band
ALBUM: "Lost And Found"
YEAR: 2014
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Houston, Texas
YEARS ACTIVE: 2008 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Find A Reason" appears to be about yet another break-up song. The twist, at least from what I find, is that most of these break-up songs talk about the girl walking out on the guy. But on this song, it's the vocalist that's ending the relationship and it appears for sure that he has no regrets in doing so.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE GRIZZLY BAND:
The Grizzly Band formed as a band back in 2008, hailing from Houston, Texas. The band dropped their debut full length studio album in 2009, called "How Fast They Fade". Soon after they self-released a live album titled "Drunk And Loud (Live At Rudyard's)" in 2011, followed by their "Victory" EP in 2012. 2014 saw the band drop "Lost And Found". Most recently, The Grizzly Band released "Anywhere But Home" in 2019. The Grizzly Band self-proclaim themselves to be "southern whiskey punk". And that sound is some sort of the influence of Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Social Distortion and Jawbreaker. I think that combo sums them up pretty good! I first learned of these guys from dyingscene.com for sure. I want to say "Lost And Found" was the first album I owned by them but I'm not totally sure. I may have had their debut, "How Fast They Fade" back in 2009. These guys are pretty cool. Think of a southern rock type of band with punk rock elements, even some Americana/Folk sprinkled in as well. These guys aren't super out there on social media so there's not a lot of info out there on them. In fact, as of writing this blog, I didn't even know they released "Anywhere But Home" in 2019 so that's something i'll have to pick up soon.
