The Go! Team
The Go! Team is a six-piece group from Brighton, England, whose sound is a stunning blend of indie rock guitars, police show themes, hip-hop beats, and schoolyard chants built on samples and then augmented by live instrumentation. The founder and leader of the team is Ian Parton, who provides guitar and sculpts their sound. The rest of the group includes Sam Dook on guitar, banjo, and drums, Chi "Ky" Fukami Taylor on drums, Jaime Bell on bass, Ninja on vocals, and Kaori Tsuchida on drums, guitar, keyboards, and melodica. Their first release, 2000's {^Ge...[more]

#8 Seller of 2005! Lodged somewhere in the previously undiscovered zone where Sonic Youth meets the Jackson 5, The Go! Team's debut Memphis release Junior Kickstart kicked out the jams and then spread it on crumpets for tea. The Go! Team repaired to the studio to commence work on their debut album. In a highly secretive manner. And now, at last (or about fucking time depending on which way you look at it) their highly anticipated debut album is complete, entitled Thunder, Lightning, Strike.

England's Go! Team play a fast and furious mix of 60s girl groups, 70s car chase TV themes, 80s lady MCs, and 90s guitar squalor. Their 2005 debut, Thunder, Lightning, Strike was critically lauded for its cheerleader anthems, syrupy string samples, and mad-as-a-hatter horn arrangements. This release bombs melodies into the stone age with its needle-in-the-red anti-production approach. It lurches from bubblegum pop to white noise in a heartbeat. Contributors include Chuck D, the original Double Dutch [ read more ]

The Go! Team burst onto the indie scene a couple years ago like the proverbial breath of fresh air. Their music, built on samples of schoolyard chants and TV theme rockers, made most everything else sound gray and a little timid in comparison. Thunder, Lightning, Strike, their debut album, was a brilliant record and Proof of Youth can't help but suffer when stacked up against it. Indeed, it might take a spin or two before you can shake the feeling that you're listening to outtakes from {^Thunder, L [ read more ]
