Scott Winegard from Texas Is The Reason

In this episode we sit down with Scott Winegard, bassist of the seminal post-hardcore band Texas Is The Reason. Emerging from New York City’s 90s underground, the band carved out a legacy with their melodic sensibilities, introspective lyrics, and their enduring influence on the emo/post-hardcore movement. Scott reflects on those years with a mix of honesty and humor, touching on memorable stories like the inside joke of “cigarettes make you fight,” navigating the ethos of old school veganism, and the surreal experiences that came with major label interest during the height of the band’s momentum. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering Texas Is The Reason, this conversation offers a unique window into the culture, choices, and chaos of that era.
