The 10th Anniversary Re-Release of Reson's sophomore CD, Scream, includes two never before released tracks from the original recording sessions. "Summer Song" and "Can't Help Falling in Love With You."
"I never considered "Summer Song" finished to the point that I was happy enough with it to include on the CD - especially the main vocals. I was running short of time and money and wanted to get the disc out, so I never put the finishing touches on it. Ever since, it's been a personal favourite of mine, and I always regretted not including it. Looking back i think the recording captures the raw feel of how we performed it live. As for the cover tune - we simply didn't put it on the CD because we just didn't know how to obtain the proper license to make it legit.... Research wasn't my strong suit! I'm glad we can finally get this gem out. This was how we usually ended a show. " - James
Scream features a matured approach to songwriting and a more dynamic arrangement, culminating in a rich, dark spectacle of sound and emotion. Harder edged guitars and rich vocals bookend this EP.
