Search - Dave Goddess Group :: Something New

The Dave Goddess Group's release, "Something New," is an anomaly on today's music landscape; a classic sounding, mainstream rock record with no gimmicks, airs or apologies. Mixed by Ed Stasium (Ramones, Talking Heads, Smithereens), Something New is a refreshingly tight, old school rock foray that captures Dave Goddess's knack for memorable hooks, thick guitars, and rough-hewn lead vocals. The results of this dynamic collaboration are all there in the mix. From the driving rock title cut, "Something New," until the last notes of the jangly "I Can Dream," DDG create a dialed-in, roots-based blend that melds a 70's vibe with exuberant 80's guitars. Nowhere is this more apparent than on "Sweet Miss Understanding," a song that showcases Goddess's on target songwriting and ability to deliver raw, accessible lyrics with guts and soul. Other highlights include the gloriously anthemic "Call Of The Wild" and the catchy, up-tempo groove of "Luck Guy" featuring horn players from The Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge tour. Ironically, Something New feels more like a pair of old jeans than a debut: familiar, comfortable and torn in all the right places.
