about
Mixing music, style, and attitude with what The Boston Globe calls 'densely ringing electric guitars, grand melodic gestures, and a panoramic sweep of space and sound.' The Good North have taken their cues from old-school Britpop, new-school indie-rock, and a dose of hardcore bravado. The combination has put TGN onto bills with such luminaries as Ted Leo, The Dismemberment Plan, Idlewild, Aerial Love Feed, Grandaddy, Stellastar*, Elefant, Ash, The Walkmen, and The French Kicks. They rock but aren't heavy, they emote but aren't emo. When they're onstage, they are riveting, when they are offstage, they don't seem to realize it because they are still a show: a continuous, self-referential, ludicrous sideshow of alcohol, cigarettes, cocksure posing, silly banter, and genuine affection for one another No doubt Ð this is TGN and their new EP, Life Outside our Walls. The Good North formed in 2001, and have previously released 2002's Define Worth Wating EP and 2003's An Explanation LP. TGN have been featured on over 100 college radio stations and commercial stations such as Boston's WFNX & NYCÕs K-Rock.
