Guster

Active since the early '90s, Guster is an American alt-rock band known for their earworm hooks, soaring choruses, deft guitar noodling, and literate songwriting. A versatile East Coast institution, they emerged out of the Boston area with a quirky amalgam of acoustic folk and pop before adopting a more robust sound that blended stadium-ready Brit-pop grandeur with proletariat American trad-rock. They first achieved breakout success in 1999 with their third LP, Lost and Gone Forever, and its breezy hit single "Fa Fa." Subsequent LPs like Ganging Up on the Sun (2006), Easy Wonderful (2010), and Evermotion (2015) found similar success, each one reaching the Top 40 and yielding numerous charting singles that found their way into popular television shows and films. After 2019's Look Alive, Guster released a live album supported by the Omaha Symphony. Released in 2024, Ooh La La marked the band's ninth studio effort.
