Good Guys formed around the fateful year 2004, combining the unique powers of Boris Tilov (Guitar) and Felix Thundercat (voice antics)...

Good Guys have since inducted a bass player (Gregory K. Smith), and a keyboard/trumpet player (Baron von Schlummberg).

The Good Guys sound adds the softest elements of jazz and lounge to the clamoring of thick rock and metal.

Good Guys have recorded 2 EPs (the last of which was mixed and mastered by Stewart Cararas for 7th Level Productions. [with production credits such as Pleasure Club, Drums & Tuba, Brian Wilson, and Juvenile])

Right in time for summer [sheen], Good Guys released their first full length album, The Social Engagement, with Mike Napolitano (Blind Melon, Galactic, Twilight Singers). The Social Engagement appears to be the most interesting and dynamic full length release, like, ever.

The Social Engagement also features guest musicians,

Mike Dillon (Polyphonic Spree, Ani DiFranco) on Timpani
and
Skerik (Claypool's Frog Brigade, Critter's Buggin') on Saxophone

Good Guys are a professional act packed with energy and the knack for a different sounding kind of 'rock and roll'.

Good Guys are gentle. We will help you find new muscles you never knew existed, if you trust us. And we are thorough. Very thorough.
