Gene were an English alternative rock quartet that rose to prominence in the mid 1990s. Formed in 1993, they were popularly labelled as a Britpop band and often drew comparisons to The Smiths because of their Morrissey-esque lead singer, Martin Rossiter. Gene’s music was influenced by The Jam, The Small Faces, The Style Council and The Clash.
The Go Hole and Spin
Gene’s origins lie in a previous band which was first called The Go Hole, named after a fictional „Beat“ club in John Clellon Holmes’ novel Go, and then was later renamed Spin. Vocalist/rhythm guitarist and songwriter Lee Clark, bassist John Mason, lead guitarist Steve Mason, and drummer Matt James were original members of Gene.
The band was formed by Clark (vocals/guitar) and Daz Walton (bass). John Mason took over playing bass and James joined on drums. A few years later, Clark, Mason and James recruited Mason’s brother Steve Mason to play lead/rhythm guitar and thereby free Clark to focus on vocal style, which had been previously limited by his mediocre guitar playing.
After performing in Woolwich, London for several years, Spin became a promising baggy Stone Roses-like band. Two singles ‘Scratches (in the sand)’ and ‘Let’s pretend’ were released in 1990 and 1991 respectively. Both garnered promising reviews and helped establish the band’s following nationally. Then, Spin were involved in a road accident.

Saw this band live many times and they never failed to deliver. Pompous, fragile, beautiful and just plain talented. Never understood why they were not as big as they deserved to be.
