Geneva, a Scottish rock band formed in Aberdeen in 1992, was initially composed of vocalist Andrew Montgomery and guitarist Steven Dora. The group, originally named Sunfish, recruited second guitarist Stuart Evans, bass player Keith Graham, and drummer Craig Brown, who was later replaced by Douglas Caskie. Geneva's breakthrough came when a demo reached Suedeâs record label Nude, leading to their signing in 1996. The band changed its name from Garland to Geneva and released their debut single "No One Speaks" the same year. They gained significant press attention and headlined the NME's annual Bratbus tour in early 1997 with their second single "Into the Blue". Their debut album Further, released in June 1997, reached number 20 on the UK Albums Chart and included hits like "Tranquilizer", "Best Regrets", "No One Speaks" and "Into the Blue". All four singles from the album entered the UK Top 40. Geneva's second album Weather Underground was released in March 2000, preceded by the single "Dollars in the Heavens" and followed by "If You Have To Go". The band disbanded later that year.
