Brighton's Go! Team are a band that found their sound and their formula early. Almost immediately actually. With 2004's debut album Thunder, Lightning, Strike really, and they've been rolling out variations on it every few years ever since until we get here. 2023 and their seventh Get Up Sequences Part 2.
It sounds like their others frankly. But in Go! Teams's case this is entirely a compliment not a complaint in any respect because their sound has always been so inventive. Dayglo Hanna Barbera cartoons, shooting from the hip. Daisy Chain Hip Hop, Soweto Pop, Jackson 5 and early Seventies black singalong pop, Malcolm McLaren Duck Rock, the sound of the projects at their happiest, Sesame Street, 60s Girl Groups. What more could you possibly want.
I have no idea where Get Up Sequences Part 2 stands within their canon. Does a band like this really need a canon. They're always pretty damned good. This is pretty damned good. They're positive. They reside on the street where the glass is forever half full. They're playing my neighbourhood pretty soon. I'm seriously considering checking them out. You certainly should if you haven't done so already.
