Career

Early days

Jack Bessant and Gary Stringer formed the band in Street, near Glastonbury and although Kenwyn House knew about them, he was not initially that interested in joining. The duo moved to Cornwall and got a drummer and guitarist. Before forming Reef, Bessant and Stringer had links with Paul Winterhart, later to join Kula Shaker, and Julian Deane, the guitarist with Toploader.

In 1993 while Bessant and Stringer were looking for band members, House had met up with Dominic Greensmith (from Barnstaple, Devon) in London, and discussed forming a band. The foursome finally got together, and started to jam, producing the extremely rare "Purple Tape" demo. The Purple Tape was recorded under under the name Naked, later to become Reef, due to other bands having the same name.

After recording a couple of tracks, the band spent much of 1994 touring and building up a fan base. They signed to S2, an off-shoot of Sony. Their first single "Good Feeling" was released on an independent label, but financed by Sony, then as an official Sony S2 release in early 1995. This paved the way for "Naked" which was used in a TV advert for the Sony MiniDisc in which a record company executive hears the track on MiniDisc, throws it out of the window disapprovingly, but a young man outside picks it up, listens to it and likes it (demonstrating the format's durability). Indeed they were somewhat slated for this act, but have insisted in interviews that of course they were a young band and offered such a chance what young band would not resist.

Commercial success

During their touring in 1994 and 1995 Reef supported Paul Weller, The Rolling Stones and Soundgarden, amongst others.

Both the Good Feeling and Naked singles came from Reef’s 1995 release, their now gold debut album Replenish. The album was recorded in the remote Cornish Sawmills recording studio.

"We wanted our first album, Replenish, to be a really honest statement. Four people playing in a room and getting something that’s totally their own. It was recorded in the most basic way possible. Minimal room sounds. Up until recently, all I used for effects was a wah-pedal and I only used that on two songs." Kenwyn House.[citation needed]


Hot on the heels of Replenish, in summer 1995, came a non-album, four-track single release entitled "Weird". It was a very non-commercial track and Reef had said the release was aimed at the fans. Sunrise Shakers, one of the B-sides to Weird, was later featured in snowboarding film Day Tripper, by independent film maker Christian Stevenson. Stevenson, known for his films about extreme and free sports, was later to direct a promotional video for Reef, for their Sweety single in 1999.


The follow up to Replenish was Glow, which was more diverse, with the band using different instruments and creating a more interesting style. Glow was recorded under the direction of The Black Crowes' record producer, George Drakoulious and engineered by Jim Scott, in Los Angeles. It spawned the hit singles "Place Your Hands", "Come Back Brighter", "Consideration" and "Yer Old" which increased Reef’s profile in the UK and abroad. On the week of its release, Glow went straight to number 1 in the UK Albums Chart. A musical instrument is a device constructed or modified with the purpose of making music. ...

"Place Your Hands", released on 21 October 1996, was Reef’s most successful single to date, reaching number 6 in the UK singles chart. The song explains the grief that Stringer felt following the death of his grandfather, and easing the pain of death. The video for "Place Your Hands", directed by David Moulder, features the band members on pulleys and wires to create an energetic aerial display.


During their touring in late 1996, Reef were supported by Feeder, who were at the time laying the foundations for their own career. Feeder are an award-winning British rock band, founded in Newport, South Wales in 1992. ...


In 1999 Reef released their third album Rides, recorded at Ocean Way Studios in Los Angeles, the same studios used by The Beach Boys for Pet Sounds and Michael Jackson for Thriller. They swapped instruments on some tracks with Stringer and Greensmith playing guitar and Bessant singing on one song. Working again with Glow producer George Drakoulias, the band also enlisted the skills of David Campbell (father of American artist Beck) for the string arrangements. Rose Stone of Sly and the Family Stone fame features as a backing singer. Jack told NME magazine that the album was showing a more mature side to Reef but they were still having fun, using slide guitars, and trying to acheive a “filmic” feel to some tracks.[1] The album was very well received by critics, but commercially could not match the earlier success of its predecessor Glow.

Later work

The fourth album and most commercial work yet, Getaway (Sony) was released in 2000, and was produced by Al Clay, who has also produced for the Pixies and Stereophonics. "Set The Record Straight" was the highlight of the album, and this track was also used as the theme tune for the BBC Television drama series Red Cap, starring Tamzin Outhwaite.

The "Superhero" single released in the same year, features a video of an impromptu gig held at Bessant's Hoxton Square flat, in London, in the summer of that year. Bessant was vacating the property and used the opportunity to hold a small gig with a select guest list, predominantly from the music industry. One notable guest was Andrea Corr, whilst also in attendance were BBC Radio 1, plus Kerrang! and NME magazines.

The 3rd and final release from Getaway, was “All I Want,” a ballad, and substantially different to the first two releases. Despite good airplay on Radio 2, the single only peaked at number 51 in the UK charts. The video features the members of the band stranded in a drifting lifeboat, drawing straws for who would sacrifice themselves to save the others.


Late 2000 saw Reef facing legal action from the U.S. company South Cone Inc. for infringement of their trademark, Reef Brazil (as found on sandals and footwear), on the basis that t-shirts, and other other merhandising such as stickers, caps and keyrings could cause confusion in the marketplace. The South Cone action failed on account of their mark actually being REEF BRAZIL rather than REEF, and due to the fact that their primary business and reputation was with the sale of sandals and footwear. Also important to the outcome was the fact that Reef (the band) were using the t-shirts and other items as marketing for the band rather than trying to promote the t-shirts (or any other clothing, including footwear) as a commodity in themselves.[2] Reef (the band) were awarded £1000.

During 2001, after a low key tour supporting Texas, they took a long summer break, in North Devon, to write new material for their fifth album. The self financed sessions were deliberately performed at arms length from their record label and the music industry in general, and Reef enjoyed the opportunity to return to their earlier, more basic approach to making music. In an interview to the BBC Jack said “It's a harder sound, like when we first came out - a deep sound, heavy, I really like that.”[3] Whilst they had a lot of new material, Sony forced Reef to only use around a third of this material as part of a greatest hits offering entitled Together - The Best of Reef released in January 2003.[citation needed] Jack Bessant denounced the complete lack of support from Sony and Kenwyn House called the release “a kiss of death.”[4] Many fans felt the new material had been some of their best work for some time.

In January 2003, their original drummer Greensmith quit the band on the eve of a major UK tour, and as the greatest hits were released. He was replaced by the relatively unknown Nathan Curran. It was on this tour that the Live DVD was recorded at Bristol’s Carling Academy. Around this time Reef also appeared on the BBC's re:covered programme covering Black Sabbath’s "War Pigs", which appeared as a B-side to "Waster", Reef’s last single, and their only single on the Snapper Music record label.

In total they have had eight UK Top 20 singles.


"Place Your Hands" remains a party and compilation favourite. Reef played a small parody of this for Chris Evans TFI Friday show in the late nineties, for a feature called ‘It’s Your Letters’. Evans claimed that the band had contacted him to stop playing the clip, as fans were apparently singing along at gigs, but these allegations were largely unfounded. Indeed the band had written to Evans, however Gary Stringer explained it differently, “We don’t want people to think that’s all we’re about” and went on “... he’s gone on telly and said we storm offstage whenever someone in the crowd sings that version of it. But no-one ever does sing that version. I think he thinks his influence and power is a lot more widespread than it actually is.”[5] A compilation album is an album (music or spoken-word) featuring tracks from one or multiple recording artists, often culled from a variety of sources (such as studio albums, live albums, singles, demos and outtakes. ...

2004 - Change of direction

Reef took a long break from their constant touring.


Stringer appeared at the Bristol Academy as a guest DJ on 28 February 2004. For other meanings of DJ, see DJ (disambiguation). ...


Tragedy struck on 3d April 2006 when Martin Gilks, their former manager and Wonder Stuff drummer, was killed in a motorcycle accident. He died aged 41, from internal injuries at St George's Hospital, Tooting, London. Gilks managed Reef with his brother Tank, alongside other bands, through their management company Furtive Mass Transit Systems.


House formed a short lived project called McArthur, while Greensmith started touring with his new band, Kubb fronted by vocalist Harry Collier, formerly of Cornish funk band Rootjoose. Kubb released their first album in 2006, and during spring 2007 they are writing material for their second album.

Trivia

  • Some of the members of Reef are extremely keen surfers, which explains many of the themes of surfing incorporated into their music and indeed their group title. This was cited in the South Cone legal action as one of the reason why there could be confusion between Reef(the band) and Reef Brazil products.
  • Bessant has played bass on a track on The Storyteller, an album by The Kinks' Ray Davies.
  • Stringer was once voted one of the most eligible bachelors in Britain.[citation needed]
  • During their career Reef have covered the following artists: The Jam, Led Zeppelin, Ian Dury & The Blockheads and Black Sabbath. The Jam cover can be found on a Jam tribute album called Fire and Skill featuring artists such as The Beastie Boys, Ben Harper and Noel Gallagher. The Black Sabbath cover is the b-side to "Waster". The other tracks were performed in live shows only.
  • In 1996 Reef won the Music Industry Soccer Six Tournament, beating both Oasis and Pulp.
  • Dominic Greensmith is a former student of the Drumtech college in London.
  • Track 5 on Replenish, entitled Mellow, features the sound of swans in the final moments, taking off from the estuary where the Sawmills recording studio is located. The track was recorded outside, during a rainy night, on a jetty.
  • Contrary to the popular belief that Reef chose their name as it is an annagram of Free, the name arose because of a misunderstanding.“We didn’t want anything specific like the The Dirty Ashtrays. Anyway, Dom says, ‘Right I’m going to ring up the BBC and find out the name of the girl on the testcard, just for a vague angle, to give us some inspiration. So he rings up and finds out her name is Carole Hersee and Jack mishears him and goes, ‘What? Coral? As in reef? And Gary goes, ‘Reef? Yeah?’ [6]
  • The video for I’ve Got Something To Say is based on the 1970’s television comedy drama Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased). It features downbeat members of the band being encouraged to play by alternate, ethereal versions of themselves.
