London
Gene
Gene rose to prominence in the mid-1990s when they found themselves categorised by the UK music press as a Britpop band, drawing comparisons to The Smiths - largely because of the similarities to Morrissey in the demeanour and lyrical style of lead singer Martin Rossiter.
Gene's music was influenced by The Jam, The Smiths, The Style Council, The Faces and The Clash.
They scored the Top 20 hits "For the Dead", "We Could be Kings", and "Olympian", recording four Top 30 albums before splitting at the end of 2004.
