Gene

Olympian

To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Gene's seminal debut Olympian, Demon Records are thrilled to announce this limited edition LP reissue of the top 10 hit record on heavyweight 180-gram blue vinyl - issued here for the first time since release. Gene were formed in London in 1993 by singer Martin Rossiter, guitarist Steve Mason, bassist Kevin Miles and drummer Matt James, Mason and James having previously played together in Sp!n. Inspired by the songs of The Smiths, The Jam and The Faces, Rossiter's literate vocals and Mason's fluid guitar lines were perfectly complemented by the intuitive rhythm section of Miles and James. They released four studio albums and a collection of B-sides and radio demos between 1995 and 2001, were named Best New Act at the inaugural NME awards in 1995, and went on to score 10 Top 40 hits.
