These days, if a band starts up with the clarinets and the ride cymbals, you’ll probably start picturing your great grandpa doing the jitterbug. Oakland’s Van Goat breathes a healthy dose of punk rock into swing by stripping it down, raw and so energetic that you’ll want to upstage your granddaddy on the dance floor.” - Good Times Santa Cruz</p><p></p><p>Van Goat’s second album ‘Nobody Cares’ is a joyful song cycle of genre and dynamic extremes. The album finds the band incorporating a wider swath of genres into their already eclectic arsenal. Opener “Bad Boy Drunk” is decidedly country, with a soaring chorus evoking Mutations-era Beck and the refrain “I started to count up all my junk/ but ended up gettin’ bad boy drunk” is decidedly Hank Williams-esque in its self-deprecation. ‘Maia’ is a surf-rock explosion of guitars, high vocals and rhythmic breakdowns. On the album closer, ‘Nobody Cares’, Lindsay Alexis belts out the titular line ‘nobody cares’ like classic-era Etta James. </p><p></p><p>Alexis, who shares lead vocal duty with Aidan Ward  (along with playing trombone and the occasional rhythm guitar), takes a much more central role in the vocals and lyrics of ‘Nobody Cares.’ Brooke Becher of the East Bay Express says of the Alexis-fronted “Ain’t All That Bad:” </p><p></p><p>REVERBERATED PLUCKS TAUNT BY THE SECOND IN THE INTRO OF THIS BLUES-TINGED, LABOR-CLASS BALLAD, PROVOKING AIDAN WARD’S SLY CLARINET AND LINDSAY ALEXIS’ GUTTURAL VOCALS TO STEER THE FIVE-PIECE STRAIGHT INTO A BOMBASTIC, FULL-BAND CLASH THAT OPENS THE FLOOR TO A SWANKY, DEVIL-MAY-CARE SWAY.</p><p></p><p>Van Goat’s latest release still sits squarely in their self prescribed genre of ‘swing punk’ but is a more mature and thoughtful collection of songs in structure, harmony, and lyrics. Loud, heavy surf-rock contrasts with swing and jazz; country with groove-centered funk, making for a dynamic and lively listening experience.</p><p></p><p></p><p>“RAW AND SO ENERGETIC THAT YOU’LL WANT TO UPSTAGE YOUR GRANDDADDY ON THE DANCE FLOOR.” - GOOD TIMES SANTA CRUZ </p><p>&quot;LIKE A SKELETON BAND IN HELL- JAZZ ART PUNK ON HIGH.&quot; - AMERICAN PANCAKE</p><p>&quot;A PARTY AT THE PUSH OF A PLAY BUTTON.&quot; - EARBUDDY</p><p>“A DANCEABLE FEAST, THE GIN-SOAKED SOUNDTRACK FOR SOME CRUMBLING SPEAKEASY, FULL OF DANGER AND MENACE. “ - LOUDER THAN A DOUBT</p><p>http://www.facebook.com/vangoatband</p><p>http://instagram.com/vangoatband</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmjOIItDxMM-F06wmu7LIPA</p><p>http://soundcloud.com/vangoatband</p><p>https://open.spotify.com/artist/37QOjpJBlZdln9cJ008oIT?si=EhrwtlIgQcOmQtJXhVMmDQ</p><p></p>
