Toronto – Green Go is a band from Guelph, are they named after Go Transit, who is also Green? I do not know. What I do know is that they have released a Canadian style electro-funkish kinda album called ‘Borders’. What do I mean by that? Check out the song ‘Brains for Breakfast’. It’s got that thumping beat, a dose of synth but also has group singing…featuring both male and female! From the likes of BSS to Arcade Fire to Born Ruffians, if there is one thing Canadians do right its to get a bunch of people singing into a mic at the same time. It’s may seem a mess but it adds a nice element of controlled chaos to the tunes. Actually, they remind me of Los Campesinos, if they wanted to make you sweat. It’s got that playfulness feel to it. What’s more impressive about this album is that the band has said they don’t use any computer assistance for their music, which will be interesting to see in a live setting. All music aside, Green Go just wants you to dance, and with Borders, there is a good chance you will want to shake it like a Polaroid.

Green Go play the Wrong Bar tonight for the CD Release party.
