ABOUT US

"The fact that they possess a sound that is both accessible enough for mass appeal and intelligent enough for the approval of beardoes up and down the land may very well make them unstoppable"
LIVE MUSIC SCENE (www.live-music-scene.co.uk)

"The Goodness are not at all ordinary, in fact, they're actually a bit special!!!"
TOXIC PETE (www.toxicpete.co.uk)

"It’s obvious why The Goodness have attracted a loyal Bristol fan base in the year they’ve been together; they offer something that we’ve been missing - catchy tunes with a bit of genuine feeling for once."
SUIT YOURSELF MAGAZINE

"A band made up of five very talented lads.... They’ve got some real power behind them.... This band doesn’t hold back on their performance, which resulted in a very strong seven song set." (Live Review)
LIVE MUSIC SCENE (www.live-music-scene.co.uk)

"Fast paced, chug-riffing electro swirls... they’re smartly, hookily effective." (Live Review)
VENUE MAGAZINE

The Goodness are five 18/19 year olds with their roots based in the city of Bristol. They formed in 2007 and played their first gig at the Louisiana just two months later.

In October 2008 they were invited to the prestigious Sawmills Studios in Cornwall to work with John Cornfield (Muse, Supergrass, Razorlight) and Paul Travers (Co-founder of The Eden Project and Sessions).

They also recently went to the highly acclaimed Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, which has been home to bands such as Queen and Oasis amongst many others.

Their sound is based around compelling vocals and soaring, sing-a-long choruses.

Thanks to their energetic live shows they now have an ever growing loyal fan base as well as building a strong reputation on the Bristol Music Scene and they have supported the likes of Red Light Company & Golden Silvers.

Look out for their music and enjoy!

Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love
Das Wanderlust

Yo fellas,

Ye it was a great night, busy throughout which always makes for good times!

Once again, a solid performance, and liking Take Hold. Jonah, how come you didn't let Will loose with your camera for your set? I guess that's a silly question though.
