GENE - Drawn To The Deep End (Sealed) (2LP)

This is Gene’s second studio album released in 1997 and singles include ‘Where Are They Now?’ (no.22 UK Charts), ‘Speak To Me Someone’ and ‘Fighting Fit’. Double LP pressed on 180g Heavyweight black vinyl, with original artwork, presented in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves. Inspired by the songs of The Smiths, The Jam and The Faces, Martin Rossiter’s literate vocals and Steve Mason’s fluid guitar lines were perfectly complemented by the intuitive rhythm section of Kevin Miles and Matt James. They released four studio albums and a collection of B-sides and radio demos between 1995 and 2001, were named Best New Act at the inaugural NME awards in 1995, and went on to score 10 Top 40 hits.
