Goes Cube: Press Page

"Goes Cube's sledgehammer assault was inescapably awesome. They bludgeoned our eardrums -- and our hearts -- with their epic Fugazi feel, machine gun double-bass assault and monumental larynx-shredding vocals." AND "Goes Cube just may have become our favorite underground locals. They're definitely our loudest." -STEREOGUM. Read the full post!

Goes Cube is "leading New York's rock scene into a much more hopeful future. Their live show will make your brain shake, your body move and your soul scream. Lucky for us, their set translates well in the studio." -THE GOTHAMIST Read the full interview/article!

"Holy shit, Goes Cube is an insanely good band. I went to see these guys expecting nothing and came away feeling newfound hope for the future of rock in New York City...and the drummer, well, the drummer is just sick. He's seriously the best drummer I've seen in quite a while...Goes Cube [is] mighty refreshing in these post-Interpol days...See them. Now."

Goes Cube is chosen as Gothamist's Band of the Week on 3/22/06: "...already being familiar with the awesomeness that is the Detachment Kit, we needed to see what the deal was with the fourth band on the bill. Unsurprisingly, they [Goes Cube] rock as well. From the few songs we've downloaded off their website, they've got a heavy driving sound that alternates soft and loud with the best of them. The quiet parts are as emotional as their shrieking confessionals..." -The Gothamist ( full text )

Oh My Rockness highlights Goes Cube in their BANDS WE LIKE feature: "God, Goes Cube are good. If you miss bands that just flat out rock, then these guys are for you." - Oh My Rockness

"Brooklyn-based three-piece Goes Cube does indie-RAWK the way it should be. How should it be you ask? Mostly like this: The bass will be loud, you won't understand the vocals, the drums will kick your ass and the guitar will slay all in sight. Is that enough? Yes, yes it is."

"High-energy rock" and "rising indie trio Goes Cube"
NEW YORK MAGAZINE

"I wanna point you in the direction of Gothamist's band of the week this week, Goes Cube. They rule. Brooklyn needs more honest to goodness screaming, ya know? Sing it like you fucking mean it, Goes Cube! I never heard of them before this morning, but I've been listening to them all day..." - Central Village ( full text )

"Brooklyn's Goes Cube just finished recording their new release Beckon The Dagger God, and they sent us a few tracks to catch a sneak peek. They played our open-blog launch party this past May and totally kicked ass. Their loud, nasty, and aggressive approach to the live show comes through completely in these as-yet untitled tracks. One particular to note is drummer Kenny Appell's hard-hitting tightness and super-fast fills that fatten and broaden the band's bursting energy. To put it plainly, these new tracks flat out rock hard, and we look forward to hearing the completed record. Goes Cube's next show is at The Knitting Factory on July 11. Listen here and here for two tracks, and check the podcast for our favorite of the three." - The Deli Magazine

"See, Goes Cube is a band that kills live. KILLS. They're so damn good live that you might expect a studio recording to suffer somehow and these tracks do not. I'm trying to fight the urge to say it, but I'm getting a Nirvana Incesticide kinda feeling from these songs. I mean, in the way Goes Cube just sets out to fearlessly go wherever they want to, perhaps beyond where other bands dare. In the way that these tracks very well represent what Goes Cube is all about, the way Incesticide did for Nirvana better than any of their proper albums." (full text)

"Look out for emoish trio Goes Cube, experts of the bitter kiss-off." - Time Out New York

"Enthusiastic Rawk" -Flavorpill

"These days it seems like if you see Goes Cube live you simply can't not become a fan..."
THE DELI MAGAZINE

"As I stood outside Sin-e...Goes Cube guitarist David Obuchowski confided in me that their evening plan involved 'making everyone's ears bleed.' I, the experienced concert-goer (with ears that have withstood Mogwai) that I am, accepted his challenge...Goes Cube stepped up. With the gauntlet thrown down, I went in sans earplugs, which was a good idea for somewhere around 15 seconds, when I twisted in a pair to save my hearing as their songs smashed out like lottery numbers—Goes Cube Song 17, Goes Cube Song 25. When they finished, I ambled outside to recover...Later that night, as I fell asleep, my ears were ringing quite awesomely, but they were 100% not bleeding. Valiant attempt, Mr. Obuchowski. Valiant attempt."

"Some of NYC's finest..."

"Goes Cube sounds like: Punishing awesome." -New York Press

"I was very impressed with Goes Cube. I really dug their songs and show...the whole band just rocked. They really annihilated some faces last night..."

press from before 1/24/06 (the addition of Kenny Appell on drums):

"Goes Cube offsets the fact that it uses programmed drums (generated by something the duo calls "the beating machine") instead of a human skinsman by playing just that much harder than your average emo-ish postpunk band. Fans of tense, slicing guitar lines and anthemic kiss-off shouts are advised to take a long, hard listen." - Time Out New York

"Goes Cube performs loud, heavy-hitting metal." NewYorkCity.com

"High-register Brooklyn post-punk." Village Voice

"The music is catchy without being poppy, edgy and biting without being heavy, and it makes you want to get up and move without being too dancey...You also have to love the fact that all their songs are titled chronologically with only a number. Its refreshing in today's world of wordy song titles." Can You See The Sunset From The Southside?
