Gel was a Reading-based band featuring Jon and Anders prior to The Sunset Sound.
The band was signed by label head Seymour Stein to Sire, home of Madonna and the Ramones. They were dropped before they could release a note, but some material did later appear on the Cargo label. Gel were active between 1998-2000.
Extra special thanks are due to Ryan Frost for his significant assistance with the Gel part of the discography.
The Sunset Sound was a Reading-based band featuring Jon, Anders, Chloë and even, for a short while, Jim. They were active 2001-03. Their second single, Border Town, featured Asleep Under Eiderdown as a b-side.
Some of their material later re-appeared under the Pure Reason Revolution moniker, but there was a brief time when the band was known as Wow, The Gold Stars and Pendulum Dawn.
The Sunset Sound's material was still available from Velocity Recordings in the early 2010s, but no longer seems to be available.
