History
The band chose the name The Reminisce based on hours of going back and fourth on random words on the way to a rehearsal. Rigden said in a 2023 comment, 'We were just on the bus on the way to rehearsal and were spitting out random words in hopes of finding a good band name. We eventually decided on The Reminisce, unfortunately there's no serious meaning behind it, we were just mucking about on the bus'.
