The Genuine Imitations are just another corporate, indie rock, sugar coded commodity; as pretentious as Trey Anastasio’s solos and Roger Waters’ penis. The Genuine Imitations will kick your cute puppy. They’re true punk rebels. They’ll go to Star Bucks, but they won't say thank you when they get their lattés.

The Genuine Imitations are just another corporate, indie rock, sugar coded commodity; as pretentious as Trey Anastasio’s solos and Roger Waters’ penis. The Genuine Imitations will kick your cute puppy. They’re true punk rebels. They’ll go to Star Bucks, but they won't say thank you when they get their lattés. They will take your sister out on a date and then, when they walk her to the door, will not kiss her. They'll just leave her hanging on the stoop of your house. Actually the Genuine Imitations where formed in 2002, and shortly after, played their first show. At first GI Dave, the guitarist/vocalist who formed the band had no idea how to play a guitar. He had read that the Sex Pistols couldn't play their instruments, but still had a band so he figured he should do it too. Sky on the other hand, went to music school and had advanced slap bass. This formed the basis of their sound. They originally reacted strongly against the oppressive culture of the post 9/11 world and sought to offend their audience. The band grew through the years. They grew from being the most hated band in Westchester county New York just north of NYC, to the most beloved. Deciding to make pop songs with choruses and stuff instead of just screaming.
