 Good to Go is the first release from the Subway Surfers, a band that is ready to put Gotham on the garage punk express train. The band was formed by garage fans/singer Eric Fuzzco Fusco and bass player Mopar Larry Higgs and Ray Calluori, master of all things percussive, and finally, guitarist Todd Vigorito, who shares the band's musical roots. All the Subway Surfers arrive on the platform with musical street smarts. Higgs and Calluori formed the rhythm section of Buy or Die recording artist Sawney Bean, which won critical acclaim for its single EP and work on Graham Parker and Shadowy Men on Shadowy Planet tribute (Deep Eddy Records) CD’s. The group got recognized in the All Music Guide and decided to call it a day in 1999. The Subway Surfers is Fusco’s return to mic duties after previously fronting Quote of the Week and The Mad Scientists where he wrote Good to Go with Scientists' lead guitarist, Gus Neidinger. Higgs, Calluori and Fusco got together in 2000, but it wasn’t till Vigorito, who’s done his own work in Pray for Pills, joined the band in mid 2002 that their sound really got rolling. The result is Good to Go, a frat party stomper that sounds like the Ramones crashed a 60’s frat party. This song is as live as it gets, with no overdubs or other studio tricks to dilute it’s 100 proof garage rock ’n’ roll essence. Slap this platter on the turntable, turn up the volume and the neighbors parents are sure to call the cops, but the kids will be dancing on the porch first!!!! Credit that to Fusco’s super atomic vocals, Higgs’ hemi-powered bass, Calluori’s infectious beat on the big little purple kit (courtesy of the Bearing Edge Drum Company) or Vigorito’s Robert Quine-inspired guitar. It doesn’t matter. This is the first car in a rush hour packed train of rock n roll fun to come from the Subway Surfers and it’s not stoppin’ baby! Look for them delighting eardrums and breakin’ hearts in a club near you! For more information call Larry Higgs @ 201-459-9718. |
