Guster has been growing their cult-like fanbase for over 15 years now, and as evident by their latest albums Easy Wonderful and On The Ocean they are only getting better. The band feels the release of Easy Wonderful marked a turning point in their career, and believe they have emerged from the process as "stronger players, writers and record makers".
