ABOUT THIS ITEM

The Go! Team's sound could be described as somewhere between Sonic Youth, The Shangri-Las, Roxanne Shante and The French Connection going Double Dutch, or St Etienne meets The Avalanches - but that hardly covers the genre defying delights on "Thunder, Lightning, Strike". There's the trash punk northern soul of intro track "Panther Dash", New York lo-fi block party of "Bottle Rocket", lens flare TV movie epics of "Friendship Update" and "Everyone's A VIP To Someone". Recent single "The Power Is On" is a middle ground between the blazing trumpets of "Junior Kickstart" and the cheerleader cut and paste of "Ladyflash".
