A-Go-Go - It’s Alright EP (2023) Hi-Res

Last Spring, Columbus (Ohio) trio A-Go-Go released a compilation of the three EPS they sent into the airwaves over a 12 month-period. Well, it’s not even Autumn and the next EP has already arrived. It features brand new garage pop goodness by the band, or as the band’s tagline reads “Rainbow cowpoke garage-rock baby.” I’d almost include a yeehaw! because there is a definite sense of country to the music of A-Go-Go. It’s more a vibe than a sound though. That vibe is pretty laid-back, making It’s Alright a solid pick for the title of the EP.

In my previous post I described A-Go-Go as Jacuzzi Boys meets Allah-Las meets Jaill, and for the It’s Alright EP, I’d like to drop the Jacuzzi Boys reference. Intentionally or not, the first seconds of the EP do sound eerily close to the notes and tones of Big Star. Anyhow, this EP is a great way to start your week of music.
