{"title":"Guster","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Guster\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuster formed at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts in 1991 when Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, and Brian Rosenworcel were freshmen. The band's signature feature for many years was Rosenworcel's bongo and hand percussion approach (rather than a conventional drum kit), which the band has progressively augmented with conventional drums alongside acoustic and electric instrumentation. They have moved through multiple labels across their career, with the most recent work appearing on their own Ocho Mule label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuster's sound combines indie rock, indie pop, alternative rock, folk rock, and power pop with intricate vocal harmonies, melodic acoustic-driven arrangements, and a distinctive bongo-and-hand-percussion rhythmic approach (across much of the catalog). Their work has been a defining contribution to the late-1990s and 2000s collegiate indie rock scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParachute (1995, self-released)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoldfly (1997, Hybrid)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost and Gone Forever (1999, Hybrid\/Sire)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep It Together (2003, Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGanging Up on the Sun (2006, Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Wonderful (2010, Universal Republic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvermotion (2015, Nettwerk)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook Alive (2019, Ocho Mule\/Nettwerk)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOoh La La (2024, Ocho Mule)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHybrid, Sire\/Reprise, and Ocho Mule pressings of the Guster catalog have been issued in standard and color variant editions.
