Purpose: Provide news, music clips, tour dates and band
information
The Go! Team returns this week with "Proof of Youth", a follow-up to their
infectious and critically acclaimed debut album "Thunder Lightning Strike". The
6-member Brighton-based band picks up where they left off, mixing frenetic
guitars and electronica with youth entertainment artifacts from the late
1970's. The fast-paced songs feature TV car-chase music, Double Dutch vocals
and early rap to create a thrilling sound.
Their website itself looks like a vestige from the 70's. It's a cut-and-paste
layout of adolescent graffiti -- the kind you might find on one of those blue
canvas 3-ring binders that were invaded by pen scribbles and stickers by the
end of the school year. The graphic style suits The Go! Team's lo-fi old-school
sound perfectly.
Add these stand-out tracks to your playlist:
"Ladyflash" -- from Thunder Lightning Strike
"Bottle Rocket" -- from Thunder Lighting Strike
"Grip Like a Vice" -- from Proof of Youth
"My World" -- from Proof of Youth
Comments
Although we are saturated by this kind of "college doodling" design at the moment I must admit I still really like it!
Studying at uni I have seen many people try to emulate it only to fail, its hard to pull off well- often looking over worked.
The muted colours and inclusion of graph paper (which looks like it has been pulled straight out of a college workbook) hold the peice together.
Is it just me or does it have an 80s feel to it?
Don’t you know that you are really professional mini dissertation creator and the <a href="http://www.primethesis.com">dissertation writing service</a> won’t equate with your writing technique. If you continue to do such things, some men will buy a thesis relating with this topic not from <a href="http://www.primethesis.com">thesis writing service</a>, but order from you as well.
