About R.E.M.
R.E.M. emerged from the vibrant music scene of Athens, Georgia, in 1980, with a sound that would redefine alternative rock. Founded by Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Michael Stipe, the band's unique blend of jangly guitars, cryptic lyrics, and Stipe's distinctive vocals quickly set them apart. Their influence was immense, inspiring countless bands like Nirvana and Pixies. With hits like "Losing My Religion" and "Everybody Hurts," R.E.M. sold over 90 million albums worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling music acts in history. Even after Berry's departure in 1997 and the band's amicable split in 2011, R.E.M.'s legacy endures, with occasional reunions and inductions into prestigious halls of fame keeping their spirit alive. Their music, characterized by Buck's ringing guitar arpeggios and Mills' melodic bass lines, continues to captivate fans old and new.
