About GENE

Gene exploded onto the scene in 1993, driven by Martin Rossiter’s literate, emotive vocals and Steve Mason’s evocative guitar, supported by Kevin Miles (bass) and Matt James (drums). Their debut Olympian (March 1995) swiftly earned Britpop acclaim—entering the UK Albums Chart at number eight and going silver—anchored by the poignant title track. They followed up with Drawn to the Deep End (1997), a widescreen, strings-soaked statement, and Revelations (1999), where their sound deepened and darkened amid political rumination. Their final album Libertine (October 2001) arrived on their own label, showcasing newfound artistic freedom with soul-tinted piano and reflective lyricism.

Now hinting at long-whispered returns and confirmed reunion shows in Leeds and London in autumn 2025, Gene are stirring Britpop’s embers once again. They may have split in 2004, but with ten Top 40 hits, festival highlights across Europe (including Glastonbury and Reading & Leeds), and a catalogue still revered, their legacy burns as brightly as ever—ready to hit the stage and remind everyone why they mattered.
