The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike

" We came here to rock the microphone. Our aim is to break you down to the bone."

They're The Go! Team, and what a team! Between flashy rock'n'roll and joyful electro, harmonica and hip-hop pseudo-beats, swiftin' guitars and amazing jazzy instrumentation like trumpets, The Go! Team can make us remind the 70's, the disco saturday-night-fever nights and that golden age tv series. Coming from Brighton - UK, whatever style they fit, it's danceable from beginning to end with some funny, wild, crazy, movable mood.

"Thunder, Lightning, Strike" it's so versatile that almost every song seems to fit a lot of different music styles in one, and overall, all songs sound stylishly retro. The glockenspiel, horns and harmonica make sure their music sounds unique, the cheerleader chants give it the football game mood, but way more explosive. They're all-about-bein'-groovy, fun and wacky, just like Bright Eyes, The Decemberists, British Sea Power, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah or Architecture In Helsinki. You'll get hooked on 'Ladyflash', it has weird vocals, burstin' drums, amazing spirit and inovative style, while others like 'Panther Dash' just seem like those car-chase theme songs from some 70's movies or even some computer games like Driver or Interstate. Some other songs may seem J-rock/pop alike, kiddish or too crazy, but in my opinion they're just a dynamic band, and quite good! Another great reference, it's worth it.
