"A band that boasts a very full sound led by a singer whose vocal is one of those excellent, almost self-harmonising type of vocals."
Born in Dundee, Scotland in 2007 The Goodnights have already become one of the most talked about bands on the scene. "More Than Anyone" the title of the Goodnights demo E.P has received nothing but praise on all levels and has been described as "A heartfelt slice of superior song writing and arranging” and “More infectious with every play." After the official release of the E.P in April 2008 The Title track went straight to the top of the U.K unsigned bands network chart and stayed at the top spot for 9 weeks voted for by members of the public.
The boys continue to draw large crowds whenever they play due to the easy listening and easy feel that the band produce when on stage doing what they do best and that is performing wither it be to a single person or to a full house.
In the short time they have been together The Goodnights have supported Acts such as The Dykeenies (Twice), Tiny Dancers, John Power, Captain, Parka, Popup and The Foxes.
The Goodnights are proud performers of some of the most mid-paced songs that any band has to offer and the boys make this work throughout their live set, and have a large audience absolutely captivated by what they are playing and this is a testament to the writing, arranging, playing and singing talents that the whole band possesses.
“A quintet who feature a guy (Ross Kirk) on electric piano and organ as a prominent lead, as well as extra musical coloration, they have a depth of sound that is truly exquisite. That they can open the set with a song such as "Save Me" and have the audience in the palms of their hands, is the sign of the writing skill. You start with this expansive anthem of a song as ringing guitars from lead guitarist John Mill and rhythm guitarist Paul Wyllie, and flowing organ sound above militaristic rhythms courtesy of Dave McDermott on bass and Jamie Corstorphine on drums, the song rolling along as guitarist and lead vocalist Paul Wyllie's voice just soars on a song that has this smouldering passion to its anthemic outpourings, the audience swaying along, only for the song to decelerate then, in a swift uprising of rhythm, erupt into a hail of guitars and electric piano as the vocal rises up to deliver the memorable chorus, before it all drops down to a sea of lilting piano, choppy slow rhythms and back into the mesmerising verses once more. All of this lapped up by an audience wrapped up in the song and its delivery”.
If you only discover one new band today, then say good morning to the Goodnights.
"This is a band that's writing and playing seriously strong songs for which it would be criminal to ignore".
"The Goodnights are, right now, one of the consumate album-oriented song bands on the scene".
"The Goodnights signal a truely remarkable feat of established songwriting, having only been together for a short time, they show musical maturity earning their status as a rising talent ready to grip domination outside their home territory"
