From two of the four corners of this little island on which we dwell comes an army. From the north and the south, putting differences aside, 5 of the mightiest warriors lead the assault.The nobel, Sir Mikey of Doherty, the holy overseer, Lord Jack of Carroll, the all powerful Kush Kushington, the deadly killer for hire, the Hassasin OE and the rogue, Kishi de l'Allebone. Bound together through circumstance, their goal is one of noble cause. To destroy the haters and miserators and establish the final empire of chill....

The Going Goods are a contradiction. They make hip hop for people who don’t really like hip hop, sing blues that sounds kind of happy, are an acoustic band with a beatbox percussion…

It’s a contradiction that works. Based almost slap bang in the middle of England the five piece was formed in 2012 by four university friends and a postman.

Their debut EP, Blame it On The Week, was released the same year. It found an instant audience thanks to its combination of uplifting acoustic guitar, soulful melody and easy going rap chat.

The Going Goods flow with a catchiness that will have their tunes looping inside your head. Add to this an infectious feel good factor that comes with their live performances. The band have been touring extensively since the release of follow up EP, Sunshine Mantra.

Championed by Beans on Toast, they have supported Gentleman’s Dub Club, The Stranglers and The Boomtown Rats to name just a few.

Once described as a ‘festival curveball - an acoustic band with a new twist”, live gigs at legendary venues like The Monarch in London and Festival stages along with quirky videos have helped to build a loyal fan base.

The band connects with its audience in a way few others do, having a knack for bringing the buzz to where there was once an empty dance floor. Plans for 2015 include a new album, summer festival dates and a European tour.
