about

"Courtney Boyers, the vocalist for West suburban-based TAKE THE REINS, knows how to deliver a tender beatdown with soaring melodies that really pack a punch. Good thing, too, since the musicians who played on the band's new album, "Addiction by Subtraction," aren't holding back. The band -- rounded out by Matt Benson, Dave Burke and Dan Duffy with Dan Precision stepping in on bass for the recording sessions -- imbued the recent album with a driving energy that firmly complements Boyers' vocals." - Brian Shamie, Daily Herald "Sound Check", 1/3/2018

Called "an explosive mix of Joan Jett and The Pretenders", this is the debut album from the mid-west rock band, TAKE THE REINS. Frontwoman/vocalist Courtney Boyers & crew churn out 12 hard-hitting tracks exploring varying themes on addiction, despair and defiance. Don't miss out on this eclectic mix of songs that doesn't let up, from start to end.
