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, Alabama. Born in 1995, the band went would eventually play gigs with some bigger name acts such as Stuck Mojo, New Bomb Turks and Turmoil among others, as well as going through a couple of line up changes before fully settling with Jason Burns (guitar), Nick Brunson (guitars), Brandon Thrasher (bass), Jeff Gardner (drums) and vocalists Kelly Reaves and Chris Mosley. Four years in the making, Haste's first full-length "Pursuit In The Face Of Consequence" was released in 1999, Lioniel Richie and Slayer covers included -the later being done acoustically. When Reason Sleeps followed in early 2001. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
