The band '''OURS''' is the creation of Singer [[Jimmy Gnecco]] Guitarist [[Dave Milone]] Drummer [[Tony Angerson]] and Bassist [[Scott Greco]]. Since its creation in 1990, the lineup has evolved but Gnecco has always felt that having a stable group of individuals who could play off each other was important. In high school, Gnecco was in the band ''Lost Child'' and later, ''The Harmony Bandits'' (which eventually evolved into what is now ''OURS''). Around 1992-1994, ''OURS'' released their first album titled ''Sour'' under their own label entitled "Beatnik records" owned by Mike Marri who produced Sour. Afterwards, the band dissolved and would not reform again for several years. In 1997, Gnecco started ''OURS'' again and quickly drew industry attention. A label bidding war ensued and finally OURS was signed with DreamWorks Records. After 4 years, OURS released their first album, ''Distorted Lullabies'', in 2001.
