There are two bands with this name:

1) Gene were a British indie/rock quartet which rose to prominence in the mid-1990s. The band was formed in London by lead singer Martin Rossiter in 1993, and disbanded in 2004.

The line-up comprised Matt James (drummer), Kevin Miles (bassist), Steve Mason (guitarist), and Martin Rossiter (vocalist, keyboards). They were popularly labelled as a britpop band, and often drew somewhat superficial comparisons to The Smiths, if only because of their slightly Morrissey-esque lead singer, Martin Rossiter.

In truth, Gene’s music owed more to acts as diverse as The Jam, Small Faces, The Style Council, and The Clash.

2) GENE a Syrian neoprogressive rock band, one of the best acts in the Syrian rock scene, they started under the name ZODIAC playing progressive rock songs for bands such as ( Karmakanic ) later on they changed their name to GENE and decide to use Arabic lyrics with the progressive music creating a very unique style of their own, proving again how flexible Arabic language can be.

They are:
Maen rajab: Guitars
Omar harb: Bass guitar (The Hourglass - Anas & Friends)
Shadi Ali: Vocals (Guest in Anas & Friends)
Sahel Zen Eldien: Drums
Hazem Al-Ani: Piano & Keyboards
Anas Abd al-Moumen: Guitars (Anas & Friends)

GENE released their debut self-titled album in August 2008 .

A real shame Gene split up; this underrated band had some real talent. Would love to hear at least some solo work from Martin!

To All People Who are listening to the Syrian GENE band ( this page is for Gene band from UK ) : If you are scrobbling from anywhere, please change the artist name from "GENE" to "Gene Band" so this will create a new page for the real syrian band, and will eliminate confusion between the two bands who got the same name. please spread the word, and thanks.
