Go For Gold is a band from Arkansas who are bringing punk rock back. Here is what Discovered Magazine had to say "Hailing from Arkansas, Go For Gold are filled to the brim with catchy upbeat pop-punk that you'll have on repeat for months. With rolling drum intros and fast-paced guitars, they're the type of band you want to mosh to in a packed out basement, falling over monitors, throwing drinks in the air. Reminiscent of teenage years with a stream of consciousness lyrical style, their energy is infectious as they remain relentlessly hopeful, suggesting that maybe you can just dance all over your problems." -Amy Albinson

Track Review

Who doesn’t love a nice guitar riff followed with a beat drop let alone a good punk rock tune in the 20’s. The band blends sophisticated and meaningful lyrics with an old sound and tone with punk rock. You can jump and dance to the song or you can even get into your feelings. After all the song is about letting go of someone you love. Spencers vocals really cut deep through the music and you feel every word he sings. The hero of this song is the guitar that gives the tune a great melody you can bob your head to. Overall, the song is great no complaints there. My one issue if it is one is more on the technical side, at the beginning of the song when Spencers vocals cut in the music overpowers his voice making it hard to hear. Not sure if that was intentional or an accident but it makes it harder to get into the song.
