Band in general:
The Danish punkrock group Gob Squad started playing in the summer of '96, heavily influenced by such bands as Rancid, Operation Ivy and NOFX. They developed a skill for writing catchy and infectious songs that quickly got better as the band grew tighter musically, growing towards a heavier and thicker rock sound. By the time they released Call For Response they had become a formidable and interesting punk rock band. Gob Squad also has the reputation as an utstanding live act. They have toured extensively throughout the past 3 years and they have now reached over 250 live shows spread across Germany, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Holland, Austria and Switzerland gaining them tremendous live experience and thus enabling them to put on an unforgettable live show packed with energy and attitude. Look out for them hitting a town near you. They mean business!!!
The album:
Gob Squad have recently signed with German label Wolverine Records and released their second full length record Far Beyond Control. A fitting title to a record packed with full blown hardrocking songs combining melodic Punk with Rock N' Roll and Hardcore. This captures the intensity of their infamous live shows better than ever while retaining a great and rich sound that craves attention from the listener. Gob Squad have made their best record to date taking their sound one step forward while maintaining their well known melodic aggressiveness.
