The Reason by X Ambassadors
The Reason is an EP by X Ambassadors, released in 2014. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 14 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Unsteady”, on 14 lists with a best position of #2.
The Reason is the fourth EP from X Ambassadors, the pop-rock outfit out of Ithaca, New York, released in 2014 as the follow-up to Love Songs Drug Songs. It's a short record that did a lot of heavy lifting: it launched the single "Jungle" and carried "Unsteady", and both songs were soon folded into the band's full-length debut, VHS.
That makes The Reason something of a sketchbook for what came next, with singer Sam Harris, Casey Harris on keyboards and Adam Levin on drums already chasing the big, brooding choruses that would define the album to follow. "Unsteady" is the one that stuck around, still pulling in countdown votes years later.
