Do not adjust your sets people.
Tokyo crazies The Goood Things decided that things were clearly so good that
they needed an extra 'o' and who are we to question their decision? Nobody,
that's who. This EP from the popular beat combo kicks off with 'She Called Me Baby' kicks off with the laid
back, West coast beach grooves of Weezer or the Lemonheads as well as being
slightly reminiscent of the hugely underrated Holy City Rollers. 'Back Porch' has
a lo-fi, low-slung feel that is part slacker and part life of the party with its
rolling bass line and bouncing guitars that make me want to put on a Hawaiian
shirt and dance on the beach as the sun goes down. There's an almost Mersey
beat feel to the organ slathered 'Here I Come' but the vocal delivery is more
like something Cake would come up with. Final track 'Save The Day' is a perky
indie-pop number with a slightly sleazy edge that makes it slightly more grown
up than your average bouncy, guitar based ditty but without losing its sense of
fun. The more I hear from the Tokyo scene the more I want to check out the bars
and clubs where the guitars rattle, the basses roll and the drums beat out like
a call to arms. And I want The Goood Things to be there keeping the crowd
bopping and the beer flowing.
