Guided By Voices
Guided by Voices is an American indie rock band formed in 1983 in Dayton, Ohio. The band had a variety of lineup changes, with singer and songwriter Robert Pollard remaining the group's sole constant. The most well-known lineup of the band consisted of Pollard (lead vocals), his brother Jim (guitar, bass), Mitch Mitchell (lead guitars), Tobin Sprout (vocals, rhythm guitars), Kevin Fennell (drums), and bassist Greg Demos.
Guided by Voices' drew influence from early British Invasion music, garage rock, psychedelic rock, progressive rock, punk rock and post-punk. The band has had a prolific output, releasing 41 full-length albums along with many other releases, and has garnered a dedicated cult following. Originally emerging out of the lo-fi music scene during the 1980s, their songs employed Portastudio four-tracks-to-cassette production methods, and are known for their frequent brevity.
Guided by Voices initially disbanded in 2004. In 2010 the "classic" lineup reunited to perform at Matador Records' 21st anniversary party, subsequently touring and releasing six new albums. GBV broke up a second time in 2014, but Pollard again rebooted the band with a new album and a new lineup in 2016, which continues till this the present day.
