With a sound they describe as a cross between Sonic Youth, 60’s girl groups, electro, a car chase and a Double Dutch team, & a raucously brilliant debut album in “Thunder, Lightning, Strike”, UK schizopop outfit The Go! Team are undeniably one of the hottest bands in the world right now.

From the album’s first single “The Power is On”, a rock hard face-off between a pocket full of funsize B-Boys and a rabid pack of Majorettes, to the Australian radio fave “Ladyflash”, to the lo-fi block party uber-fun of “Bottle Rocket”, the Go! Team seem to be suffering from a collective brain-wrong that is gloriously, euphorically right.

The Go! Team “Thunder, Lightning, Strike” is out now on Shock Records.

“The music crashes triumphantly along: blaring, distorted samples, noisy guitars, Ninja’s gleeful rapping. Dancing, yelling, hugging each other, the audience do everything to express their approval short of forming human pyramids. They are right: it’s hard to think of anything pop music has to offer in 2005 that’s more fun that this. 5 stars.” -The Guardian (UK)

“The Go! Team’s chuck-it-all-in-the-Moulinex philosophy has yielded one of the year’s strongest debut albums, something like The Avalanches go C86 or a big beat Belle & Sebastian, with as much fun to be had spotting where the instruments start & the samples end. 4 stars.” -Uncut
