Inspired by their initial recording of the wedding song, The Band Gooch collaborated with Trevor Price of The Lounge Recording to craft this collection. The record is a commentary on modern society, with each song capturing a unique emotion and a message meant to “inspire, motivate, and ultimately elevate humanity.”
“Stuck With You” is a token of the band’s frustration with mundane life, fit with tight percussion and electrifying guitars which make it a solid rock jam. Fed up with their peers falling to societal norms, they come in hot right from the first verse: “You make me want to // Go and drown myself”. The juxtaposition of such aggressive lyrics with an upbeat melody adds a sense of humor to the track, and vocalist Jared Gooch’s slick vocals bring an expressive energy that ties it all together.
The Band Gooch gets their title from the last name of primary songwriters and band founders, Jared and Jordan Gooch. The two brothers started writing music together while working on a love song for Jared’s wedding, and they have not stopped ever since. They strive to create music that’s “relatable, real, and above all else, true.” Inspired from 90s rock bands like Green Day, Collective Soul, Nirvana, and various others, they have set out to make the “truest” music they can. They create an atmosphere where anyone and everyone can meet and bond, a community where strangers become family through music in its purest form.
The Band Gooch is very excited to share Modern High with fans later this year. For now, “Stuck With You” is currently available for streaming on all digital platforms. Stay tuned for more announcements and material from the band in the coming months.
