GPS is a progressive rock group formed in 2006 by John Payne (vocals, bass, guitar), Guthrie Govan (guitars) and Jay Schellen (drums, percussion). These three had been working together in Asia when the fourth member of Asia, Geoff Downes, joined a reunion of the band's earlier line-up, dissolving the then current line-up. Payne, Govan and Schellen announced the formation of a new band in February 2006 to be called One. However, after discovering another rock act with the same name, the band changed its name to GPS, from the initials of the three founders.
The band has released a 10-track album called Window to the Soul on InsideOut in August 2006 in Europe. The release in North America is planned for September. (The album was originally announced as One with a May release date.) All the tracks are credited to Payne/Schellen/Govan. The band played live in September/October 2006. Keyboards on the album and forthcoming tour are by Ryo Okumoto of Spock's Beard.
