Guided by Voices

Guided by Voices is a famously prolific indie rock band from Dayton, Ohio, led by the inexhaustible songwriter Robert Pollard. Known for their lo-fi aesthetic and a torrent of short, powerfully melodic songs, the band emerged from obscurity to become underground legends in the 1990s. Their landmark albums 'Bee Thousand' and 'Alien Lanes', released on labels #Scat# and #Matador#, are cornerstones of the indie rock canon, blending British Invasion pop, punk, and psychedelic rock. Despite multiple lineup changes, breakups, and reunions, Pollard has kept the band a vital creative force, influencing countless artists with a DIY spirit and a seemingly endless supply of rock anthems.
