Kill Your Own is the third studio album by British-based rock band Hundred Reasons, released on 20 March 2006, on V2 Records. This is last album to feature guitarist Paul Townsend and the first to feature guitarist Larry Hibbitt as producer.
Guitarist and producer Larry Hibbitt stated that the album is:
quite an angry record. There are quite a few twisted moments and Colin's lyrics are a lot darker than before. At first the name seemed weird but after a while it just sort of made sense. It was the one that we just kept coming back to. It's a song about purposefully being a cunt to the people that you really love. It's when you really fuck people over, even when they're some of your closest mates.
Producer of band's previous two albums, Dave Sardy, mixed three tracks on the album, as well as b-side, "Casual Friday". According to bassist Andy Gilmour "Casual Friday" was omitted from the album because Hibbitt put an "irritating keyboard" on the song.
Many of the songs on Kill Your Own were debuted during their 2005 Winter tour of the UK's Barfly venues. Those who attended the shows were given a free CD, Singles Club 3, which included "Feed the Fire" alongside other tracks from support bands, Brigade and Orko.
In 2005, "No Pretending" was released in demo form from their official website. Demos of "Kill Your Own" and "This Mess" were also later made available before the album's release.
Kill Your Own entered the UK Albums Chart at #79, and entered the Radio 1 Rock Chart at #3.
