2 Reasons, Lakeland Garage Band

The funny story behind the band’s name and how it evolved once Chance joined the lineup (and why “Three Reasons” just didn’t have the same ring to it).

In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns sits down with Two Reasons, a high-energy garage punk band born and raised right here in Lakeland. Band members Chance, Colt, and Wyatt share their incredible journey of going from “page zero” musical experience to releasing a debut EP and booking their first live show—all in under a year.

The group discusses their DIY approach to music, having recorded their entire self-titled debut in a garage using minimal equipment. Despite their “experimental garage punk” roots, the band brings a unique blend of comedy and creativity to their tracks, covering everything from time-traveling pine travelers to the universal annoyance of mosquitoes.

Whether you’re a fan of the local punk scene or just love a good “underdog” success story, the energy and ambition of Two Reasons serve as a perfect example of the young creative talent thriving in Lakeland today. 101
