So What's Up W/ This Go! Team Band?

avantgarde1 · 03.13.2008, 02:57 AM

at first i kinda just wrote them off as one of those "younger kid novelty bands" (as i refer to them), but i just listened to their cover of bull in the heather and i kinda like it. so my question is, what does the rest of their stuff sound like? thank you in advance.

All modern bands suck except Battles.

And noooooow for the flames.

I really like their 1st album, Wee Pappa Girl Rappers meets Jackson5 if you ask me, which you did so shut up
2nd album is ok, bit samey but has some good tunes on
i like to dance around the kitchen to it

Isn't Sonic Youth a modern band?

I meant bands that formed in the last 8 years or so. I was pretty much being sarcastic anyway. Battles are the only recent band that I like, but that doesn't mean the rest suck.

Their original songs are a bit too poppy for my tastes. I did appreciate their cover of Bull in the Heather though.

SYRFox · 03.13.2008, 07:29 AM

I like them, I found their first album a bit boring but still very good singles (Ladyflash and Huddle Formation), but their second one is really very good, the songs are really catchy and that's all I ask them. Grip Like A Vice and the song with Chuck D in particular are great

SonicBebs · 03.13.2008, 07:33 AM

maybe i'll give their 2nd album another go. Never really got into it but didn't try too hard to be honest

uhler · 03.13.2008, 08:21 AM

i like the other go team way better.

Everyneurotic · 03.13.2008, 12:06 PM

i haven't listened to the second album yet, but the first one is fun.

battles on the other hand, can be a torture for me to listen to.

avantgarde1 · 03.13.2008, 05:32 PM

so their worth a listen then?

StevOK · 03.13.2008, 05:35 PM

Yes, they're worth listening to. I liked their first album a lot. Haven't gotten the second one yet.

The Go! Team are a fantastic joyful wondrous thing. And though the end-product is not remotely similar, you can certainly hear a SY influence at times (notably the start of Junior Kickstart, before the horns come in). Both albums are worth a listen, but Proof Of Youth suffers from diminishing returns.

Battles, on the other hand, do my fucking head in.
