PRAISE FOR GOOD BOY
“Good Boy’s laid-back garage rock has Australia hooked with its’ endearing honesty” – Happy
“Good Boy are quickly becoming men of the hour” – The Courier Mail
“One of the hardest working bands around at the moment” – AAA Backstage
“Raw rocking yet emotive sound. Good Boy isn’t your average pop band” – Music Feeds
“If you’re thinking it’s time to move on from surf-riff driven indie-pop, don’t turn your nose up just yet. Good Boy are anything but a carbon copy of the current trend.” – The Music
“Ever on the up-and-up, Good Boy are a must-see before their inevitable explosion.” – David James Young, The Brag

Aussie youth rejoice! Brisbane garage rock favourites Good Boy are today stoked to share their brand new track, ‘Fishing With A Shotgun’. As well as playing a massive 19-date tour with Grinspoon from July to October, the trio will also be appearing at BIGSOUND and Yours & Owls in September.

Infused with vitriol via singer Rian King’s incendiary lyrics, the new single takes aim at Pauline Hanson and right wing politics within Australia. “Fishing With A Shotgun is a dig at the disgusting, spineless leaders that run our country, the dismal state of Australian politics and the gutless idiots too dumb and stupid to say or do anything,” says King, “It talks about the helplessness felt by thousands of young Aussies.”
Produced and engineered by none other than Tim Fitz (Middle Kids), and mixed and mastered by Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring / Total Control), ‘Fishing With A Shotgun’ is a 2 minute 30 second garage punk slap in the face.
It’s been a busy year for the boys, playing Falls Festival to ring in the New Year and a win at the Queensland Music Awards for Best Rock Song of the year with ‘Poverty Line’. The trio also appeared at Blurst of Times earlier this year and in the same month released a split 7 inch with Jarrow (via Barely Dressed Records) before touring the country with them. As if that weren’t enough to pack the first half of 2017, Good Boy jumped on board Skeggs’ sold out tour throughout June and also toured with the likes of The Creases and Japandroids.
The latter half of the year is showing no sign of lost momentum either. Good Boy made their Splendour In The Grass debut last month, playing to a huge crowd, and are currently in the midst of the Grinspoon tour, which sees them playing to over 30,000 people across the country. To cap it all off (so far), the Brissy trio are joining the Bigsound and Yours & Owls lineups this September.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
