“The pure pop dream still burns bright in the hearts of The Go! Team. For that, they’re as vital as they’ve ever been.” The Independent on Sunday ****

“joyous and life affirming” Q ****

Ready to Go Steady is the latest single to be taken from The Go! Team’s recent glorious genre trashing LP Rolling Blackouts.

Having busted out a sun soaked slice of 60s girls-in-the-garage pop on first single Buy Nothing Day, and flipped the script with the string laden old school hip hop jam Apollo Throwdown, The Go! Team change tack again with the nimble pocket rocket teen love symphony of Ready To Go Steady, voiced by Bordeaux based DIY chanteuse Lispector.
