Pop rock extravaganza Good Time Locomotive formed just before the COVID lockdown descended on their home city of London. Writing their first material over Zoom and establishing their initial sensibilities, the band came out of quarantine and went straight to the studio and the stage.
With their latest single ‘G.T.L’, the five-piece brings an absolute party, using their fierce alternative technicality to inspire a glimmering danceable slice of pop-rock.
The bounce of the guitars, drums and keys all fall into place underneath a masterful vocal, bringing a nostalgic feeling to infectious, fresh melodies. Dazzling toplines, a fierce core and a stomping beat, the band soars through the anthem, glittering and glamour raining from the ceiling and landing on the guitar frequencies. With fun at the centre, they effortlessly evoke joy.
Band member, James explains, “Funnily enough, we wrote this feel-good party rock track in the midst of the first COVID lockdown on Zoom! Hardly a party atmosphere, but maybe it was us all missing the human connection that helped give it the upbeat vibe it has. Whatever it was, the line ‘Good Time Locomotive’ seemed to suit the ‘triumph over adversity through the power of music’ message behind the songs, so we went with it for our band name.”
