Here's what some very nice people had to say about our music:
"One of the best bands to come out of America in years"- Sunday Times, 2007
"A superbly measured debut" - Q, 2007
"A subtle sparkling pop debut" - Sunday Express, 2007
"Sun drenched and beautifully melodic" - The London Paper, 2007
Imagine Paul Simon heading to Mumbai to record his next record and listening to a mix of the Cure and R.E.M. on the flight and you're getting close. Goldspot's debut "Tally of the Yes Men" was unleashed in the UK in 2007, under Mercury UK (Universal Music Group). The band is currently in the studio finishing up their follow-up album. Sidd says the new album is "our best work to date." Although no release dates are planned, the guys are looking to have the album done by summer, 2008.

"Some of the most memorable vocal melodies heard in a long time." POPJOURNALISM, 2006
"...a true phenomenon..." - LA Weekly
"...a musical gem...the group's debut album reveals a band that has managed to find a sweet spot between indie aesthetics, soundtrack standouts, and commercial radio accessibility.
The songs on this unassuming pop album are low-key but shimmering, carefully produced but warmly organic, and just melancholy enough to be sympathetic without being melodramatically emotional or mopey...in a sense, it feels like Goldspot is a band out of time, or perhaps even more accurately, that they've tapped into a timeless vein of subtle pop. " - POPMATTERS
"While pop/rock bands of this ilk usually have a couple of smashes, Tally distinguishes itself by keeping up the quality throughout the album. Nary a misstep here, this reeks of a dirty little mainstream secret in an otherwise indie-centric closet." - EXCLAIM! 2006
"REWIND" VIDEO
LIVE FROM A MOBILE PHONE AT GLASTONBURY - FRIDAY PART ONE
...I've had this little video playing in my head for "Rewind" for so long- my own creation- I come to visit and VOILA! A replacement, made by you! very nice.
do you guys have ur album in any local record stores? Cause I live in Long Beach, and would love to pick it up instead of having to order the import. Been waiting to see if it would ever get released in the US. Will your next album be released in the US?
"Tally" is on top of my own top albums since it's out. You guys are the best band i've heard this year. I look forward to hear your next album. Thank you thank you thank you ...
Hi, Thanks for the add. I really love the music. I'm a new fan and am looking forward to my CD coming in the next week. Can't wait to hear the album and future material. Melissa
I stopped by your favorite Baltimore listener supported radio station this morning...WTMD.
Whenever I walk into the station's offices, I'm reminded of your incredible performance at the Towson U Arts Center. Please come back to B'more soon. We miss you!!
WTMD celebrated their 5th(!) Birthday on Sat night with a HUGE party. Ryan Shaw, Tift Meritt and local music from Eva Castillo Band filled the evening...along with lots of good food & cheer.
I'm returning to SXSW this year...with 3 friends. One, Riddie Becker, is a kick a** guitarist that you really need to meet. We WILL be @your show 9pm Wed night.
Baltimore....represent!
Until then... sending love from the FREEZING COLD east coast to the rainy west coast.
Oh My God ... I love the Sid Presents ... a Painful Friday video ... That was great!!!!
Well, I hope you guys tour here in your backyard (L.A.). I got turned on to you album on a listening station at Tower Records a long time ago. It took on listen and I bought the cd. Great stuff!!
