TRACK OF THE DAY : Geneva - Memory Wars

Geneva continue their unexpected comeback with a second single Memory Wars to follow up last year's Fault Lines.

TRACK OF THE DAY : Geneva - Fault Lines

Geneva have released their first new material since 2000's second album Weather Underground with the surprise release of the magnificent brooding dark Fault Lines countered by Andrew Montgomery's unmistakable vocals.

Geneva / China Bears - Brighton Komedia - 1st February 2020

Geneva opened up their short three-date UK tour with a packed-out show at Brighton's Komedia on Saturday night. Avoiding the route of many of their 1990s contemporaries they carved a path through many of the lesser-known corners of their back catalogue to a delighted set of dedicated fans who had travelled from far and wide. Support came from China Bears.

Geneva - Interview

Following a couple of low-key reunion shows last Spring and a series of Starshaped Festival performances in the summer and the reissue of their Further and Weather Underground albums late last year, Geneva head out on their first short headline tour of the century in Brighton, London and Glasgow at the weekend. We caught up with front man Andrew Montgomery for a chat about how the reunion is going.

Geneva - Manchester O2 Ritz - 31st August 2019

Of all the much-hyped Britpop reunions, Geneva's has been one of the quietest. Bedeviled by record label problems and hindered by lazy labeling, they never got the recognition their two albums deserved. Starshaped Festival has brought them back together for this year's tour of events and we caught them on the opening night at the Ritz in Manchester.

Us - Interview

A singer from a late 90s band that got lumped in with the Britpop phenomenon and a Swedish producer and director may not seem like the most obvious musical companions, but Us's debut album First Contact shows that we shouldn't jump to such hasty conclusions. We caught up with the singer, Geneva's Andrew Montgomery, for a chat about how Us came into being, their writing processes and the way in which they present their art.

Geneva - Edinburgh Wee Red Bar - 1st February 2019

"This one's called Further, we're going to go further" Andrew Montgomery towards the end of Geneva's first live show since May 2000. In front of a packed room of friends, family and fans that had held their flame in the intervening years, a four-piece Geneva delighted the crowd with a set of songs taken from their two albums Further and Weather Underground.

Geneva - Interview

Geneva were one of the most underrated bands of their time, caught in the backlash of Britpop around the turn of the century, guilty by association, despite not fitting into that scene at all. Their second album Weather Underground was hampered by financial meltdown at their label which destroyed any chance of it following their debut Further, which yielded four top forty singles, into the top twenty. The band inevitably called it a day soon after with a lot of unfinished business. They return next week for two very low-key shows in Edinburgh and London before taking part in the Starshaped Festival in September. We caught up with front man Andrew Montgomery to discuss the reunion and future plans.

Introducing - Andrew Montgomery

It's been a long time coming, but Andrew Montgomery, formerly singer with 90's indie heroes Geneva and latterly Amityville and St Famous, is back with After The Storm, the first track from his debut solo album, Ruled By Dreams, due for release on October 5th.
