Biography
1. A British Indie band
2. A French post-metal band
3. A former band member of Belle Amie
Geneva were a British indie band from aberdeen, Scotland.
The band were formed in 1992 by vocalist Andrew Montgomery and guitarist Steven Dora. They recruited second guitarist Stuart Evans, bass player Keith Graham and drummer Douglas Caskie. Originally the band were called Sunfish.
One of their demos found their way to Suede’s record label nude who signed the band in 1996. The band changed their name and released their debut single No One Speaks the same year. The band garnered enough press to headline NME’s annual Bratbus tour of up and coming bands in early 1997. The band released second single Into the Blue to coincide with the tour.
The band fitted well with the current musical scene and were well promoted by the UK music press of the time. As a reaction to the fading Britpop scene many bands rejected the laddish ideals of bands like Oasis and wrote darker more intelligent songs. This was perfectly shown by Radiohead’s OK Computer and other bands like Strangelove. Montgomery’s high pitched vocals were often compared to Suede.

@ Profilus: - Pirate killing music? Oh but you're a radio 6 believer. For a start, the band split years ago, ergo 1) won't be recieving much or possibly any royalties from sales and 2) only available to buy albums are remnants from when they were deleted making them nigh on impossible to find. Good bands tour for their money, it's been how the indie scene has worked for the last 30 years. Corporate kiss asses like yourself kill music.
