IMPORTANT NEWS FOR OUR FANS!!!
We have received a lot of messages from our fans (23 to be exact) asking us when we would get back on tour, and now the answer has finally arrived.. We are pleased to announce that Reckoner would be back touring for Mind's Chromosome 13 Tour on January 23 at the Blue Dragon Club in Wales, and we are pretty nervous for this tour since we would be support for a metal band and we are not metal, we are alternative , just hope the people would like our songs and won't beat us up or throw their drinks at us, just kidding!! Looking forward for this since it would be something new for our band and maybe for our music..

UPDATE
The music video for our song Negative has been a bit of a success and has had 300 000 hits on Youtube after it had been posted just 2 days ago. It also received good attention in MTV and has been played for numerous times worldwide. But all good things come to an end as we received news that the Negative music video has been banned in the US. It was stated that the music video has been banned for associating children in violent themes such as drugs, gangs, and guns (especially in the final clip where the lead character dies after being shot in the chest twice). The band's frontman, Troy Mascenon, has recently posted in the band's blog this statement:
"Fuck them, we won't, in any way, negotiate with MTV to bring back our music video, if the want to ban it, then let them! We would never EVER change the music video to please them, that just shows how weak a band is and we won't stoop down to that level.The music video was just right in expressing the emotion, the anger in the lyrics and changing the whole concept of the video would just be wrong."

Reckoner's Debut Album Invisible has entered the charts at #24 more information below:
UK-24
USA-163
Aus & NZ-114
Europe-85


A comment from Reckoner's guitarist and quiet guy JC Anderson:
"We all were shocked by the news. We didn't expect the album to reach this high on the charts but it seemed all the hard work has paid off...(and maybe we got lucky!) Troy literally broke down into tears as he heard about it, Troy ain't that kind of guy who cries over something easily, it took a lot to make him cry but this achievement did, it was all pretty emotional in the tour van. This is a great milestone for the band, I could see where this thing would go, and I kinda like it. I really couldn't believe this would happen since we started as a bit of a joke and now we have gotten into the charts, it's all so overwhelming.On behalf of the band I would like to thank everybody who bought the album, to all the fans of the band, to our families for the support they've given us, and to all our inspirations for...well... inspiring us to make it to this industry, we love you all!!"

After 13 weeks of monitoring the charts, we are proud to announce that Reckoner's debut album Invisible, though only limited to selling in 4 regions, has reached PLATINUM STATUS for selling over a million copies worldwide! The band are currently preparing themselves for their first big tour as support in Jakey Comatose's Negative Tour alongside Black Gold Reign, Troy Mascenon took some time off and had this to say:
"Thank you all for being very supportive to the band and for buying the album which has helped us a lot to spread our music, anxiety, and message to the world, we love you all, fans, haters, critics, and everyone else. We are now planning to release our 4th single, which would be Oxygen, on March 17 and we hope you'd still support it, it features a more poppy and soft side of the band, not that we are being sell outs but because this is how the song came out and there is nothing we could do about it. We would also like to comment on the issue revolving around fellow alt rock band, The Voyd. We don't believe their comments about the Birdies that it's all about fame and blah blah, but we still respect their opinions and I think that we should all lay this thing to rest, I've read their interview with Spin and I thought that its just right for all of us to leave them be and forget that all this happened. By the way, Yumi Takahashi has got to be one of the hottest, most talented, and best musicians I've ever seen, and JC wants to be your date if you'd go to the Birdies."
