4th Gear formed in London in 1994 with Eddie Reid on vocals and guitar, Dave Robinson on guitar, Mike Jones on bass, and Gary Williams on drums. Their debut album 'Velocity' came out in 1996, and its single '5 Miles Ahead' became a hit in the UK. They followed with albums like 'Overdrive' in 1998 and 'Redline' in 2002.
Their sound leaned toward straightforward rock with songs like 'Save Me' and 'Change Of Heart' showing their range. They kept recording through the 2000s and 2010s with albums including 'Ignition' and 'Full Throttle'.
While their music found an audience, they sometimes had friction with record labels over their approach. They toured regularly, and tracks like 'Drowning' and 'Remember' remained in their setlists.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
