In general, I am not a huge fan of tribute albums. That said, I don't know if I could be any
more excited about the newly-released If You Gotta Go-Go, Go-Go Now! What makes this
particular tribute album special? Well first off, we are talking about the almighty Go-Go's.
Outside of the Ramones, I can't think of a single band that has been more influential on the
modern-day punk/garage/power pop scene that this blog revolves around. Secondly, this
project was produced and curated by one of my favorite people in music: songwriter,
musician, producer, radio personality, and all-around great dude Travis Ramin. Out on the
legendary Sympathy For The Record Industry, If You Gotta Go-Go, Go-Go Now features 24
amazing bands and artists presenting fresh takes on Go-Go's favorites. I won't get into
listing all of the participants (you can easily do that yourself!), but I will say that this
album represents a perfect mix of contemporaries of the Go-Go's, bands who kept a Go-Go's
influence going strong in the '90s and 2000s, and some of the very best of the current
generation of power pop and punk. If you read down the track list, you'll spot a few legends
along with several of my personal favorites from today's pop underground (including two of
my top three favorite bands, who do not disappoint!).
Of course all tribute albums are a labor of love. But with this one in particular, you can
really feel the love. Covering such beloved and seemingly untouchable material was surely no
easy task for the parties involved (but) this album is full of inspired interpretations of
classics. No wonder The Go-Go's themselves have expressed their heartfelt approval!
Ripper's Notes:
Hard to find tribute to the legendary Go-Go's, featuring primarily female led bands (let's
face it, Paul Collins is welcome ANYWHERE), which is appropriate, considering the Go-Go's
are sadly STILL the only all female band, who wrote their own songs, played their own
instruments, to have a billboard #1 album. This one isn't as solid as the 2013 tribute
"Our Lips Are Sealed" (Solidarity Recordings SR050), but it is certainly worthy of the
legacy it celebrates.
If you chose to share this, or any other release, elsewhere, please
