Sounds Like
a small town band thrown into big city life.
"Tinged with moments of Idlewild Scottishness, this band have the potential to evolve into something really special!" - Marion Scott - MFR
"though the cheering crowd drowned out much of the music, I could see by the enthusiasm of those in the audience that this was a band to watch.. Their (acoustic) EP shows much of their newfound determination. It is a gorgeously played symphony of calm, moving tunes with overly decent lyrics. The CD comes into its own immediately with Here Comes The Asparatus, which is probably their best track to date and can best be described as a welcome gust of guitar and passionate vocals that captures the rain washed, grey-concrete and bare-tree spirit of a Glaswegian autumn." - Tom Remp - Studentatlarge.net (reviewing ..the shadows would batter their words against me. [acoustic EP]
Simply put, The Gen are three lads who took the ever popular decision to spend much of their spare time stuck in a room together sweating and screaming over being young and unlucky in love. Almost nine years later they emerged slightly (very slightly) more mature but definitly better crafted as an intensely determined bunch of guys desperate for their shot and even more eager to laugh all the way there. Myspace wasn't to be launched for a good four years so doing what they do best, they grabbed their instruments and played some memorable gigs.
Described by the drunk lady down the pub as 'that crap band from years ago' hardly does them justice and they would more readily be remembered as a jaunty egg race between The Xcerts, Biffy Clyro, The Wombats, Sum 41 and everyones favorite Shayne Ward. In this race however everyone is a winner and all contestants are presented a pint for taking part! What a nice gesture. What a strange thought.
The brief list of achievements accumulated by the guys include local radio play, local newspaper media attention where one newspaper rightly noted-
'If you want to get a party of to a great start, your best bet is probably The Gen!' In addition they have been privelaged to share stages with such acts as Twin Atlantic, Jyrojets, Darkwater and The Grim Northern Social in venues accross Scotland!
Our Mission Statement : To Play A Blinder. To Laugh A Lot.
If you like what you hear, come to a gig and we'll like you!
