Many bands get all uppity about how they hate labels and comparisons and all that, but Brooklyns Goes Cube dont really care what you call them. They’re just unpretentious like that no fancy gear, no fancy clothes or haircuts. They’re simply three friends who are obsessed with making each song heavier, more intense, more glorious, and just plain better than the last.
Goes Cube has steadily gained attention as one of the most intense bands in both their hometown of New York City, and beyond. Their music is a brutal blend of metal, punk, and full-on rock, and is performed with an urgency rarely witnessed or experienced anymore. None of the members have any sort of formal or traditional training on their instruments, and as a result their musicfrom the dizzying and unexpected drum fills, bizarrely and lowly-tuned guitars, and unrelenting basshas a singularity in its sound and structure that simply does not exist elsewhere.
Call it metal, call it post-metal, call it quasi-metal-post-punk-pre-twenty-second-century-independent-art-sounds if you’re into that kind of thing. But just do yourself a favor: Take a listen.
