Detroit retro rockers The Go have released their new album, Howl On The Haunted Beat You Ride. I've followed the band since getting turned on to their 1999 Sub Pop debut "Whatcha Doin", which blew me away. With catchy tunes, and killer fuzz, The Go would have fit in well with their Detroit brethren circa 1970. They've since moved away slightly from the full throttle garage stompers to more mid-tempo rock songs. Their last self titled album from '03 had an almost glam/rock feel to it. On the new album though, songwriters Bobby Harlow and John Krautner have fully embraced '60s British pop/rock. Howl On The Haunted Beat You Ride has songs that sound like they could have been outtakes from Revolver, Between The Buttons, or Something Else. If you're into the Stones, Beatles, Kinks, Hollies, Creation, Pretty Things etc. then check out this album as soon as you can.
Heres a song: You Go Bangin' On, which is also available on their myspace page, where you can see their upcoming tour dates also.
Or Better yet, screw myspace and go to their own website.
