The actual members are Beth Ditto (vocals and piano), Nathan "Brace Paine" Howdeshell (guitar and bass) and Hannah Blilie (drums), the last one replacing Kathy Mendonça who left the band in 2003.
Gossip's sonority is a mix between indie rock and dance-punk. They are known for songs like Pop Goes The World, Listen Up and Love Long Distance.
The band released 4 EP's - The Gossip (1999), Arkansas Heat (1999), Real Damage (2005) and GSSP RMX (2006) and 4 studio albums - That's Not What I Heard (2001), Movement (2003), Standing In The Way Of Control (2006) and Music For Men (2009).
Music For Men was released on June 29, 2009 by Columbia Records.
The initial critical response was positive, but some criticized the "loud" sound quality of the album.
Heavy Cross is the first single taken from Music For Men and according to Ditto on an interview with NME this song is "I know so many amazing people who devote their lives to undoing things, and I feel that's the essence of punk now because punk's already been done, it's old. It's about recreation and my friends, who I feel like are the ultimate creative re-creators."
Released on April 28, 2009 the single was considered on September 2010 the "most successful internationally produced single" of all times.
"It's a funny way to make ends meet
When the lights are out on every street
It feels alright, but never complete
Without you"
