''The Reefs" is a Surf Punk, Indie Rock band founded by Joshua Chacon and Johnny Ramos in 2013

History
Joshua Chacon, an aspiring musician and artist first led his music style out through lo-fi recordings that were published through voice recordings, recording everything in one take. Wanting to take music in a different direction with more seriousness, he brought him self forward and was introduced to people like Erick Ballesteros, Johnny Ramos, Dawit Eshete, Steven Artiga, Martin Alcantara, Anthony Chacon (Cousin) and Marco Ascencio. Early on, bands were starting to form: My Sister Is A Casino (Dawit, Erick, Martin, Anthony), The New Apartments (Johnny, Dawit, Marco), and Tom Astronomy (Johnny, Dawit, Steven)

As many bands formed and as well ended, he found him self, eventually, with 3 members and himself that would eventually form as The Reefs. The band would comprise of Joshua Chacon (Lead Guitarist/Vocals), Marco Ascencio (Rhythm Guitarist), Hans Cartagena (Bassist), and Johann Webb (Drummer). Their first 3 song Ep, CokeHead EP, with a lo-fi, reverby quality, was released early in 2014.

Later that year, with a new EP in the making, they played small garage shows comprised of only their friends. Josh, then, was known for his erratic behavior during performances, bleeding on the equipment, destroying equipment, and drunken behavior.

August 2nd, 2014, The Reefs Played What?! Fest and the following day, released The Reefs EP.
