GE5 is a band of four guys who formed up in Tacoma, Washington way
back in the '90's. The band originally was a cover band, but after a
personnel change they began to write their own songs, intermixing
them with the Beatles, REM, and Morrissey songs they played every
night.
The band played together for 4 years in this line-up, but eventually
parted, with each member going their separate ways. The death
of a good friend brought the band back together, and the realization
that they had
a lot of great songs that needed to be heard gave them
the desire to record their music, and the band's Debut disc
"Superficial World" was released Feb 1, 2008.
The members of the band have each had some successes of
their
own in the past, but feel that this group
has a dynamic
sound
that
is unique and yet
familiar. With many songs featuring two-part harmony lead vocals, as well as jangly electric 12 string guitars, they have been compared to bands as
diverse as the Byrds, REM, the Hooters, the Smithereens, and the Beatles ---
all huge compliments to the band, as these have been influences in their
songwriting and their sound.
The band has continued to write, and are looking to incorporate some
of the new songs into their performances, and are excited about the
buzz that is starting about their new release and their
sound. And this is a band that can't wait to get out and share their
music with more and more people! |
