OURS

Ours is an American rock band formed by singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jimmy Gnecco. Since the band's formation in 1994, Gnecco has been the sole permanent member with a rotating lineup of supporting musicians. Their music has been described as alternative rock, progressive rock, and art rock. The band's emotionally intense and anthemic approach has drawn comparisons to U2 and Jeff Buckley. Ours released their first album, Sour, in 1994. Ours signed to DreamWorks Records in 1997 and released their major label debut, Distorted Lullabies, in 2001. A second album, Precious, followed in 2002, but after DreamWorks folded, the band passed through several major labels before releasing their third album, Mercy through Rick Rubin's American Recordings in 2008. After a five-year hiatus, Ours independently released Ballet the Boxer 1 (2013), New Age Heroine II (2018), and a self-titled album (2021), completing a planned trilogy. The band has toured with acts including The Wallflowers, Marilyn Manson, A-ha, and Lana Del Rey.
