Ours

The band OURS is the creation of singer Jimmy Gnecco. Since the 1990's, the lineup has evolved but Gnecco has always felt that having a stable group of individuals who could play off each other was important. In high school, Gnecco was in the band Lost Child and later, The Harmony Bandits (which later evolved into OURS). Around 1992-1994, OURS released their demo album titled Sour. Afterwards, the band dissolved and would not reform again for several years. In 1997, Gnecco started OURS again and quickly drew industry attention. A label bidding war ensued and finally OURS was signed with DreamWorks Records. After 4 years, OURS released their first album, Distorted Lullabies, in 2001. Precious followed in 2002 and was horribly promoted by DreamWorks. A new, as-of-yet untitled album is slated for early 2006 on Geffen Records.
