Rein Sanction was born in the early 1980s in Jacksonville, Florida. First formed by two brothers (Mark and Brannon Gentry) and a friend (Ian Chase), the band grew through several phases and endured an extraordinary following for several years. Extraordinary not necessarily by numbers, but by spirit and by the connection fans had with the band and the music. They joined a number of other bands on the threshold of a revolution of creativity in music.
