Hardcore meets garage rock band Good Teal share ‘Parasites!’ single and video
Announce debut EP out August 15th. Hailing from New Jersey, Good Teal are creating a blend of hardcore and garage rock that’s as explosive as it is infectious.
Having gained a local following with their electrifying live show, the band has released two single since forming in 2021 and now prep for their debut, self-titled release. Out August 15th, Good Teal EP was crafted meticulously by the band, self-record and produced, then mastered by Matt Filipek. They share the pulsating single that bursts with shifty riffs and odd time signatures. Vocals flow from militant verses to a melodic borderline-nostalgic state to full blown shrieking, representative to a manic state. The video for the song, directed and edited by vocalist/bassist Reg Mason, leaps from a typical band performance into a state of disorder. On the lyrics, Mason shares:
“‘Parasites’ chronicles the pendulum of emotions we go through when we have to say goodbye to something/someone we wanted. The “airport” serves as a metaphor for the place we go in our heads before we leave a relationship. The titular ‘Parasites’ represent all the small things eating us up inside that can keep us from being fully present.”
Good Teal is Reg Mason – Vocals & Bass, Shane Stanton – Drums. Curt Grayson – Rhythm Guitar & Keyboards and Alex Goldenthal – Guitar.
