These are the most rocking, exuberant, and heart breaking songs we could turn out, and we had some heavy-weight help from Chad Fischer (Garden State Soundtrack, Alexi Murdoch, Cary Brothers) on the production end, so you know it sounds great.

ROCK: Modern Rock, POP: Today's Top 40



Details:
Since their conception in 2002, The Good Luck Joes have caught the ears of discerning listeners (young and old), as well as some key movers-and-shakers in the music industry. The bandâs sophomore album, What Do You Think of That Noise?, runs the gamut of the modern pop-rock spectrum. Between the summery, stadium-pop of âMiddle of Meâ and the ethereal electronic sounds of âButterflies,â lies a collage of garage, folk, classic rock, and modern top 40, each blended with a sense of playfulness into a brand of pop that has something all its own. With the help of Chad Fischerâs (Colin Hay, Cary Brothers, Alexi Murdoch) production, the GLJâs have refined a sound that treads nimbly around Harrison-esque guitar hooks, Coldplayâs piano-driven grandiosity, and Wilcoâs intimate confessions-in-song.

Live, The Good Luck Joes have a charismatic and highly energetic stage presence. Audiences relate emotionally to the bandâs lyrics, which are done justice by lead-singer Andrew Martinâs impassioned and honest delivery. Next to him are lead-guitarist Andrew Krei and keyboardist Andrew Citron, who both intrigue with their stage presence: at some moments they are pictures of stoic concentration while at others they move with exuberance and rockânâroll abandon. And in the rhythm section are, surprisingly, two non-Andrews; Joe Scheltema and Peterson Goodwyn on bass and drums, respectively, provide the groove and kinetic energy that drive the bands performance.
