Goddard CD release show

I was just thinking...






About how school work really gets in the way of writing blog posts. Ha. But really. On Saturday October 8, I attended the much anticipated Goddard CD release show. The album was actually finished and released during the summer, but due to complications with venue and the band going on tour in Brazil in September, October 8 was the date for the show. In addition to Goddard, fellow Worcester band Bitch Bros. had their CD released, too. Unfortunately, this was also the final show for Bitch Bros., as they were breaking up. The other two band's that played were also Worcester bands, Fang Noir and my boss at the mail room's band, Bovachevo. I had not seen him shred before (he is the lead guitarist) and was excited to see his band. We'd had many a conversation about music, and I am a fan of most of the influences his band has.

I'd previously written about Goddard for my internship this summer at Worcester Magazine, before their tour in Brazil. They are my favorite Worcester band and I think everyone would like them. Check out their bandcamp for the new album, entitled "Bishop" here. http://goddard.bandcamp.com/album/bishop

This show was awesome and you all should have been there. Shame on you for missing it. All the bands were great and had good energy, as would be assumed, with them all being some form of punk or punk-related genre. Supporting local music is easy when the bands are as good as this group of bands is. I encourage you check them all out:
