Emerging at the height of Brit-pop, Reef had little in common with
their British peers ^ instead of sounding like an amaglam of the
Beatles, the Jam and Stone Roses, they were indebted to the Stones and
the Black Crowes, but through constant touring, as well as being
featured in a television commercial for Sony's Minidisc player, they
managed to cultivate a large fan-base which expanded significantly with
the release of their second album, Glow.
Comprised of Gary
Stringer (vocals), Kenwyn House (guitar), Jack Bessant (bass) and
Dominic Greensmith (drums), Reef formed in Street, England, a small
town out side of Glastonbury. Forming under the name Big Talk, Stringer
and Bessant were the core members of the group and House rejected their
initial overture to join the band. Big Talk relocated to Cornwall,
where they merged with the Glastonbury-based No Smoke, who were looking
for a new singer, since their previous vocalist had left to become a
Hare Krishna. The new band became Chief. After a few months, Chief
broke up; its drummer, Paul Winterhart, would later join Kula Shaker.
Stringer and Bessant split temporarily as they travelled the world to
find themselves. Bessant returned to England, where he began studying
music at the West London Institute, where he met House and Greensmith.
Shortly afterward, Stringer returned to London, and all four musicians
formed Naked. The band recorded a handful of demos in the fall of 1993,
sending the results, entitled "The Purple Tape," to S2, a subsidiary of
Sony Records. S2 signed the group but asked them to change their name;
the group settled on Reef. The label had Reef begin touring the UK, and
after a few months, the group graduated to headlining appearences,
eventually opening for Paul Weller at the Royal Albert Hall in 1994.
In March of 1995, the group released their debut single,
"Good Feeling," which climbed into the Top 20. A few months later, Reef
contributed "Naked" for a television commercial for the Sony Mini-Disc
player. The commercial substantially increased the size of Reef's
audience, and shortly afterward, "Naked" reached number 11. Both
singles were from their 1995 debut, Replenish, which climbed into the
UK Top 10 and received good reviews from British metal publications.
Following performances at summer festivals, the band released the
non-LP "Weird," which became their third Top 20 hit. On the strength of
constant touring, including opening slots for the Rolling Stones and
Soundgarden, Replenish reached the UK Top 10 in early 1996.
Reef returned with the new single "Place Your Hands" in the
fall of 1996. Unexpectedly, "Place Your Hands" became a huge hit,
rocketing into the Top 10 hit and laid the groundwork for their second
album Glow. The album entered the charts at number one upon its January
1997 release, going gold in its first week. "Come Back Brighter," which
was released two weeks before the LP, and "Consideration" both followed
the album into the Top 10. Glow was released in the US in the spring.
