Exploding from their valleys roots GO-X are taking the UK by storm.
Five
sell out shows and 2000 tickets sold in 2009 alone, July's O2 Academy
2 tour
promotes their 'Postal' EP already hailed by Rocksound as the "next
big
thing" "Blisteringly powerful slices of Anthemic Welsh-rock - 8/10"
With a ferocious live show to go with their infectious music, GO-X
have been
making fans up and down the country in droves. In an industry where
even
those claiming to do something new are regurgitating old ideas, GO-X
usher
in a completely unheard of musical identity and bring a genuinely new
and
fresh sound to the scene. Not only that, they insist on screaming it
in your
face and shoving it down your throat, spitting it into a crowd of
excited
teenagers and leaping it from one end of the stage to the other. Doing
something new is what GO-X are all about, and they're damn proud to be
doing
it.
Fresh from Longwave Studios and the discernable eye of Romesh Dadonga
[Kids
in Glass Houses, Funeral for a Friend, The Blackout], the band
launched 'The
Postal EP' at Cardiff University in December selling over 500 tickets
and
establishing themselves as one of the freshest and most sought after
unsigned bands from south Wales in 2010. A short stint of English
shows
proved to be GO-X's making and they crammed Islington's O2 Academy 2
in
early February, paving the way for a headline tour in July.
Their success in Wales in 2009 gave the band the opportunity to
support
several high profile acts including Brokencyde, The Blackout and FFAF,
with
LostProphets singer Ian Watkins DJing their EP launch. They have also
shared
stages with Hundred Reasons, Attack Attack, Young Guns, Deaf Havana,
Outcry
Collective, My Passion and Tonight is Goodbye to name a few.
2010 sees GO-X establish themselves in the UK and seek management.
Constantly writing, the boys come out with new recorded material every
month
and are looking to be picked up so they can take the party to the rest
of
the UK and beyond!
