Guster, More Alive Than Live

Soundcheck | Jan 21, 2019

Coming from jangle-pop garage rock origins in the 1990’s in the Boston area, the band Guster is a group of talented songwriters, down to the last harmony. With electronic augmentation beyond just guitar amps, Guster long ago dropped its acoustic guitars and bongos in favor of arena rock with electrified-pysch-pop leanings. Their live shows are known for their quirky humor and legions of devoted fans singing along, and their latest batch of sing-along anthems from their record, Look Alive, is an insidiously hook-laden collection of polished pop. Guster joins us in-studio to play some of these new songs. - Caryn Havlik
