Sounds Like
“The jig is pumped up thanks to rock solid Melbourne quintet The Go Set”
-Rolling Stone

“…trying to describe the sound of The Go Set is like trying to imagine The Pogues and The Clash having a late night jam in a local pub with an endless supply of booze.”
-Blunt Magazine

"The Go Set manage to tell stories and churn out powerful rock tunes... All power to them."
-Beat Magazine

“Explosive, dynamic, and engaging. There is no wonder this band is fast developing a legion of the converted. Probably one of the best live shows you will see all year."
-Drum Media

"Singer/songwriter Justin Keenan delivers straight from the heart punk tunes which delve into political subjects, but are more about having a wild time & jumping around beved up chanting away in full voice."
-Faster Louder.com

   About The Go Set


Since the bands formation in 2003, The Go Set has been a unique musical experience. Four studio albums, relentless tours, raw & chaotic live shows united with powerful songs and a strong social conscience...

The Go Set have created a sound of its own by combining traditional folk instruments with distorted punk guitars & timeless rock n roll energy. The band has performed at Australia’s best festivals such as the Falls Festival, Pyramid Rock, Queenscliff Music Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival, Apollo Bay & St. Kilda Festival. Aside from extensive touring schedules, stages have been shared with The Living End, The White Stripes, The Bouncing Souls, Flogging Molly, Wolfmother & Weddings Parties Anything.

'Rising' The Go Set’s 4th album in as many years, was recorded with US producer Jonathon Burnside (Melvins, NOFX, Sleepy Jackson) at Eastern Bloc studios in Melbourne. The band has labeled the new release as a move back to its punk rock origins, but with new forays into reggae and ska – styles not familiar for a folk/punk outfit.

2009 witnessed the band complete its second tour throughout Europe & the UK, developing a strong fan base everywhere they went. Boundaries are pushed to the edge on each tour & on each Go Set album. The Go Set has averaged playing more than four nights a week & are about to release a live album sure to raise the bar once again.
