Ours Totally Explained

Everything about Ours totally explained

The band OURS is the rock band led by singer Jimmy Gnecco.

History

Since their creation in 1990, the lineup has evolved but Gnecco has always felt that having a rotating group of musicians who could play off each other was important. In high school, Gnecco was in the band Lost Child and later, The Harmony Bandits (which eventually evolved into what is now OURS). Around 1992-1994, OURS released their first album titled Sour under their own label entitled "Beatnik Records" owned by Mike Marri. Afterwards, the band dissolved and wouldn't reform again for several years.
In 1997, Gnecco started OURS again and quickly drew industry attention. Jimmy signed with DreamWorks Records and after 4 years, OURS released their first major label album Distorted Lullabies in 2001. Produced by Steve Lillywhite of U2 fame, the album received mixed reviews but led to successful tours with acts such as Ocean Colour Scene, Pete Yorn, and The Cult. The track "Sometimes" peaked at #31 on the US Billboard Modern Rock charts that year. Precious followed quickly in 2002. Precious featured a more stripped-down sound and received much more positive reviews and a slot opening for The Wallflowers.
In 2004, Ours relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles to work with legendary producer Rick Rubin. The resulting album, Mercy (Dancing for the Death of an Imaginary Enemy), was released on April 15, 2008. Current members of the band Ours, under the monikers Static, Locke, Race, and Pit, along with Jimmy, are currently preparing for their 2008 tour.
