GEN2

Established in Melbourne, Australia in 2016, by guitarist/vocalist Tony Schmidt, the Gen2 concept was to create a band that brings together the best of the old with the best of the new. Calling on an array of influences, Gen2 delivers rock for the 21st century. Combining high-energy guitar rock with strong funk bass undertones, Gen2’s original music combines powerful drums and funk bass grooves with crafted guitars and vocals. Renowned for the quality and energy of their live performances, Gen2 are rapidly gaining a reputation as one of Australia’s most dynamic and exciting live rock acts. Following the success of their debut release ‘Fire of Love’ in 2022, Gen2 signed with Golden Robot Records’ X-Ray Records label. The band’s first single on X-Ray Records - a reimagining of Lordes’ 2013 global smash hit ‘Royals’ - received widespread critical acclaim and is being added to playlists across the globe... a feat that is now being replicated with their follow-up single ‘Love You to Death’. With more tunes set to drop over the coming months, including the band’s highly anticipated debut EP ‘Future History Repeating - Part 1’, 2023 is shaping up to be a watershed year for Gen2.
