Editor's note

One Less Reason's melodic metalcore and personal lyrics

A California band whose songs about depression and struggle found listeners in the 2000s.

For their sound, try 'Love Song' or 'If You Want Me.' For the heavier stuff lyrically, 'A Day to Be Alone' is the record.

They weren't just another metalcore band. Songs like 'Love Song' and 'All Beauty Fades' had a melodic pull that stuck with people, and their 2009 album 'A Day to Be Alone' tackled depression and self-harm head-on. That directness about dark subjects gave their music a specific gravity, even when it drew criticism.

They formed around 2004 and put out their first album in 2005. After a 2008 bus accident that killed their tour manager, they kept going with albums like 'States of Unrest' and 'A Day to Be Alone' before going on hiatus in 2013.

Archive material and source history

One Less Reason formed in California around 2004, playing a melodic style of metalcore. Their first album came out in 2005, followed by others like 'States of Unrest' in 2007 and 'A Day to Be Alone' in 2009. Songs like 'The Wrong One,' 'Worthless,' and 'Ghost' show their range.

Jason Wahlers handled vocals and lyrics, with Mike Ortega and Zach Blair on guitars. Basim Usmani played bass and Troy York was on drums. The band's lyrics often dealt with personal struggles, and 'A Day to Be Alone' specifically addressed depression and self-harm, which drew both support and criticism.

In 2008, they were in a bus accident that killed their tour manager. The band went on hiatus in 2013, but their music, including tracks like 'September' and 'Where Were You?', still finds listeners.
