Guv Discography of CDs

Guv albums Artist is Matt Atwood, Adam Cissell, Bryan Ploutz, and Jeff Zupka. Shortly before the band formed in late 2003, Adam Cissell recorded "Papercut" and released it as Artist's first album. After forming in 2003 and screwing off for a year, they decided to record an album. That began in late 2004. In the fall of 2005, Artist gained online radio acclaim, being featured twice on indie rock station WOXY , on their Unsigned@WOXY program, which features upcoming bands from around the globe. Artist's "Firestorm" was played on this program and also mixed in with regular rotation along with other indie rockers. The majority of the recording for the album was done in 2005 and early 2006. In the spring and summer of 2006, mixing and mastering of the new album was performed by Artist and by Uncle Punchy (Clutch, The Apes, The Hard Tomorrows, Red Right Return) in Silver Spring, Maryland. By the end of 2006, the album, titled "Cannibals, Cones, Adultery and Sunshine" was then finished, musically speaking. The artwork, created by Tim Kearney in San Fransicso, CA, was completed and approved by the band during September 2007. At the end of October 2007, "Cannibals, Cones, Adultery and Sunshine" was officially completed. The album is out. ...

Guv music CDs Two mid-westerners and a couple of New England natives with similar musical influences met in Rhode Island and formed the band Artist in December of 2003. Artist forges emotional connections with listeners through an intelligently inspired approach to making music. Artist's formula combines detailed song structure, thoughtful lyrics and riveting guitar solos with overriding influences of both classic and modern indie Brit rock. While tending towards solemn moodiness in many songs, the band's underlying playfulness often rises to the surface. Songs about embarrassing hook-up stories and absurd stage attire lighten the mood. Artist wants to make you think, rock, dance, and then laugh. Artist originally began as a solo project of original songs composed and recorded by Adam Cissell (lead singer, guitar) during the fall of 2003. He released these recordings independently as "Papercut" in May 2004. However it was in November 2003 that the current day band began to take shape. After he recorded "Papercut", Adam was playing guitar with Bryan Ploutz (guitar) one night and expressed his yearning to form a band. Bryan then introduced Adam to his friend, Matt Atwood (drums, vocals), who had similarly done a good deal of solo recording. In need of a bass player to round out the band, Adam then suggested that another guitarist and mutual friend of theirs, Jeff Zupka (bass), might lend his talent to round out this stimulating foursome. The band came into being a few weeks later as a result of a drunken dinner in Providence. You wouldn't guess from their inspired music and jilting stage presence that these guys all work as engineers in their day jobs. Derived from Adam's life-long nickname, Artist gained approval to become the official name of the band. The first task at hand for the guys would be to master the material Adam recorded for "Papercut." By April 2004, Artist was ready to hit the stage and started to perform the songs live. They played local gigs throughout the summer of 2004 in Rhode Island, and one festival, Playa del Fuego (PDF), in Delaware. In the fall of 2004, the band...
