Risk And Reason are from Rosebud on the Mornington Peninsula near Melbourne and have members that played/play in Pigs! Bail!, No Way Out and Ill Vision. The band started out in mid 2008, put out a self titled demo in 2009, recorded "Flag Waver" in 2010, originally for a 7" with Midnight Funeral , but due to delays/members being overseas, the release was originally put out as a burnt CD in 2011, but now it's finally being pressed as a 7".

Here's what Craig from Midnight Funeral had to say..

"Fitting in somewhere between Mindsnare, Chokehold and Integrity (for me anyways), Risk and Reason are one band that I have always been excited by, and I was bummed when we couldn't make the 7" work. It was plagued with delays and issues, but now, after talking with the band, we have thought "FUCK IT" and we're going to press the fucker anyways.

This record will be limited to 250 copies on black vinyl with stamped white labels.

No bullshit. No Gimmicks. Just great modern Hardcore by a bunch of filthy Peninsula punks, and at the price of $10ppd worldwide."
