For more than two decades, Gin Blossoms have defined the sound of jangle pop. From their late 80s start as Arizona’s top indie rock outfit, the Tempe-based combo has drawn
critical applause and massive popular success for their trademark brand of chiming guitars, introspective lyricism, and irresistible melodies. Gin Blossoms soon unfurled a chain of crossover
favorites spanning five different formats, from “Hey Jealousy” and “Until I Fall Away” to “Follow You Down” and the GRAMMY®-nominated “As Long As It Matters,”
earning the band sales in excess of 10 million in the US alone.
Since emerging from the Tempe, Arizona, club scene in the late 1980s, the quintet has produced a slew of recognizable pop-rock tunes — “Hey Jealousy,” “Found Out About
You,” “Til I Hear It From You” — that remain as radio-friendly as when they first hit the airwaves . . . . Simply put, if an artist’s songs elicit smiles some two
decades after they’re released, odds are that artist is mighty successful.*
In 2016, Johnson announced in an interview that the band is expected to begin recording its sixth studio album with producer Mitch Easter in the fall. On April 1, 2017, at a concert in
Niagara Falls, Ontario singer Robin Wilson confirmed a new album has been completed but no date for release is announced as of yet.
