Texas Is The Reason have premiered a previously unreleased song titled "When Rock 'N' Roll Was Just a Baby" over at Rolling Stone. The track, the last the band wrote before breaking up in 1997 and one of two recorded with producer J. Robbins this year, will be a part of Do You Know Who You Are?: The Complete Collection, a new retrospective of their only full-length due out February 12, 2013 via Revelation Records with pre orders available now.

"It was kind of like a Brian Eno 'oblique strategies' thing, where the challenge was to write a pop song that didn't actually have a chorus. We were right on the verge of finally signing with Capitol after a years-long bidding war at that point, and I think we were having a reactionary moment. It was like, 'We won't go quietly!'" guitarist Norman Brannon tells Rolling Stone. "But I remember Gary Gersh, who was the president of Capitol at the time, told me it it was one of the best songs we've ever written, and that was really one of the first moments where I ever thought our band could actually work beyond the indie-rock world –  when the guy who signed Nirvana loved a song without a chorus."

Though the band was short-lived, Texas Is the Reason still had material they wanted to share with the world. "To have this time capsule for our band is great, but putting these unreleased songs out into world after 14 years is really all we ever wanted," says Brannon. "We disagreed on a lot of things as a band – obviously, because we broke up! – but this was the thing we agreed on. That those last songs were our favorite songs, still, to this day."

This new expanded version of Texas Is The Reason's groundbreaking album includes the last two songs the band wrote before splitting up, but had never released. These two songs, which fit right into the band's canon, were finally put to tape this year with "Do You Know Who You Are?" producer J. Robbins - making this, for the first time, a complete career retrospective. "Do You Know Who You Are?: The Complete Collection" will be released by Revelation Records in February.
