went on an extended hiatus

After the re-release of Quick the Word, Sharp the Action , Hundred Reasons went on an extended hiatus. Reflecting on this period in an interview with NME in 2022, Doran stated: “After Quick the Word , personally for me that felt like it was going to be it. I’m quite pragmatic and I think it had some good songs on it, but it wasn’t what I would call our best record. Things were on a bit of a downward turn, to be open and frank about it. We just ended up, not necessarily dissolving the band but everybody had to go and find other things to do. Those things took over, then weeks turned into months, which turned into years. Larry was building his career as a producer, I was in education and doing stuff like that, Bews was living in America which made rehearsal quite different, and Andy was in another band at the time called Freeze Atlantic.”
