Pop/Rock

1990s - 2010s

Garage punk band that evolved into a more danceable entity as they grew in popularity.

Biography

After a self-titled 7" in 1999, the Gossip's full-length debut, That's Not What I Heard, arrived in late 2000 and the group toured with the White Stripes and Sleater-Kinney. A series of albums followed, culminating with 2005's Standing in the Way of Control, which incorporated elements of dance-punk into their raw, urgent sound. GSSP RMX, which further emphasized their more danceable direction, was released in 2006. The concert album Live in Liverpool arrived in the U.K. in late 2007 and was then issued in the U.S. by the band's new label, the Sony imprint Red Ink, in spring 2008. Rework It, a remix compilation, followed that summer. ~ Zac Johnson
