Don’t Miss Silly Goose 10/13 at The 7th Street Entry
Silly Goose has been taking the scene by storm lately and you can see them do it in real life on October 13th at The 7th Street Entry.
Never content to sit still on the sidelines, Silly Goose slip through styles with a slick swagger. They’re salty enough to bust out a rap-rock banger that could just as easily light up the phones at TRL back in the day or the pit at Sonic Temple next year. At the same time, their emotionally charged melodies are smooth enough to get stuck in your head and stay there. Boasting an intoxicating blend of heavy metal, hip-hop, and alternative, they might steal your girl on one track, escape from prehistoric predators on another, or slyly address society’s struggles on the next. Stacking millions of streams, earning widespread acclaim, and packing houses on tour, the group—Jackson Foster [vocals], Alan Benikhis [drums], and Ian Binion [guitar]—consistently flip the script without apology on their second full-length LP and Blue Grape Music debut, Keys To The City.
“The music goes in directions you might not expect,” promises Jackson. “There’s the lighthearted party vibe that Silly Goose is sort of known for. However, there are new elements. The songs get heavier, and it’s a little angrier too. For me, a track can be serious or crazy, but the subject matter will always be cohesive. We want you to be able to tell what every song is about and know exactly what we’re saying.”
Hailing from Atlanta, Jackson developed a deep appreciation for Rage Against the Machine in middle school. From there, he discovered Limp Bizkit and found his muse in nu-metal, proceeding to embrace even heavier inspirations a la Mudvayne and Slipknot. During sophomore year, he joined forces with Alan and laid the foundation for the band. The boys presented their first EP, The Goose Is Out Of The Bag, before even graduating high school in 2021. Gaining traction, they buzzed with viral videos, the independent LP The Streets Heard It First, and countless pop-up performances across the country. Eventually, the duo completed the lineup with the addition of Ian. They built a devout audience one fan at a time and went on to sell out venues like The Masquerade in Atlanta. 2024 saw them sign to Blue Grape Music and ignite the Bad Behavior EP. Along the way, they also incited applause from Chicago Sun-Times, LoudWire, Metal Injection, and Revolver who professed, “It all equates to Silly Goose becoming one of the boldest and brashest voices in this new wave of nu-metal domination.”
Cheem and MUTTLEE are the two opening acts. Both of these names are new to me but I am so excited to see what they can do.
