Martin Newnham and Andy Parkin have known each other since growing up on the Isle Of Wight. Martin & Andy both moved up to London to study music at different universities. When Martin was offered a gig and needed a band he asked Andy, Dave Marks & Vesa Haapanen if they wanted to get together to play a one off gig. The one off gig turned into The Goondocks.
The band spent their first year together writing material and gigging on the London circuit at venues such as Sound, Hope & Anchor, West One Four, Hammersmith Palais, The Borderline & The Garage. In 2003 they released their debut CD "Everything" - a project that was self funded and self promoted by the band.
The Goondocks spent the latter half of 2005 and early 2006 refining their sound and working on their new EP "Bittersweet". The new songs - "Annabelle", "As They Fade" & "Bittersweet" show a harder, rawer edge to the band.

"...Nach dem vor zwei Jahren erschienenem Album "Die Ewigkeit des Vergänglichen" und querelen mit einem "Talent-Newcomer-Förderungs-Plattenvertrags"-Deal sowie einer Menge Auftritte in Berlin und Umland, stellt Tapete sein Nachfolge Werk zur kostenlosen und unkommerziellen Verbreitung direkt im Netz zur Verfügung. Dem Produzenten, Texter, Sänger und Rapper gelingt es, sein eigenes Dienstleistungserschleicher-Rap Genre zu festigen und eingängig so wie inhaltlich schlüssig mit Erlebnissen über Schwarzfahrten und Schuldenfallen sowie Abhandlungen über die allgemeine Beziehung zum Geld greifbar zu machen. Die Texte sind in einer Art und Weise gleichzeitig ehrlich, verletzlich, doch souverän und auf den Punkt formuliert, aufrührerisch und zur Tat schreitend und animierend, ohne dabei lauthals rumbrüllen oder in platte Parolen abdriften zu müssen..."
