Artist Of The Year: #8 - Reuben

We asked long time fan of the band, Frank Turner, to tell us just why Reuben where our 8th most amazing artist of the year.

Listen to Frank:

"Reuben continued to rock faces up and down the UK and overseas this year, with a cracking new album (although let down by shoddy guest vocals from some joker called Frank Turner) and a Christmas single to top it all off. Finally, a Christmas song with balls (and no, Wham doesn't count, not those kind of balls). Long may they continue to rock in 2008."

We couldn't have put it better ourselves really.

In 2007, Reuben released the 5* album (that's official, read our review if you don't believe us) 'In Nothing We Trust', their 3rd full length, and put out on their own label too.

Combine that with the 'rocking faces' thing that Frank was talking about, their quest for the Christmas #1 spot, and the fact that they're WELL good, and they've had a pretty bloody good year!

'Deadly Lethal Ninja Assassin' - the 2nd single from the album, released in September. Spot the aforementioned guest vocalist too...
