THE GOTOBEDS are one-offs. Dry, brusque, tongue-in-cheek underground anthems that are largely lost in the sanitised world where metrics and mediocrity rule at large, the Pittsburgh punk juggernaut, consisting of Eli Kasan (vocals/ guitar), Tom “TFP” Payne (guitar), Gavin Jensen (bass) and Cary Belback (drums), have spent their existence hitting a frequency few others have found.
It’s one of the main reasons why they aren’t celebrated more. That fine line where punk and indie-rock sit, tenuous with little margin for error that defines good and bad; however, The Gotobeds nail the former by illuminating reality. The civic vitality of their native Pittsburgh, peaking through in their songs with blue-collar grit, harnessing the same intensity as underground rock alumni Bottomless Pit and Silkworm before them.
As the arts are swallowed up by capitalism and careerism via metric-focused bands slowly killing us with their soulless release campaigns, from the sidelines, it’s this kind of pain one has to endure in order to reach the core of something truly meaningful. At that core, there are bands like The Gotobeds. An act that revel in the small victories, for they know they are the sweetest ones. Whether The Gotobeds are content with their underdog status might be another question, but it doesn’t take away the fact that these small victories mean so much more, and on the back of Masterclass, well, the title says it all.

Imagine you’re in the backseat of a car driving down a mountain the breaks are broken there’s a chicken on the drivers seat and a distorted bootleg tape is stuck in the radio.
CARDBOARD is a noisy and angry punk/post-punk band from berlin. They take inspiration from bands such as Bikini K*ll, IDLES and Viagra Boys.
