Formed in the mid-1970s in San Francisco, California, The Greg Kihn Band is an American rock band fronted by singer-songwriter and guitarist Greg Kihn. Known for their catchy hooks, clever lyrics, and energetic live shows, the band achieved their greatest success in the early 1980s with a string of hit singles, including "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em Like That)" and "Jeopardy."
Though their sound is often categorized as pop rock or power pop, The Greg Kihn Band's music draws influences from a variety of genres, including classic rock, blues, and even country. This eclecticism helped the band to carve out their own unique niche in the crowded rock scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Despite not having quite the same level of commercial success in the years that followed, The Greg Kihn Band has remained a popular touring act, and their music continues to be enjoyed by fans of all ages. In 2014, the band released their first album of new material in over a decade, "All Kinds of People," which was met with positive reviews from critics and fans alike.
