Scotia Rose share a bright, forward moving statement with “Good Times,” a standout track from their debut EP out now via Deko Music in partnership with ADA and Warner. Built on heavy pop melodies filtered through a rock and roll edge, the song balances big hooks with soaring guitar work, capturing a sense of motion and urgency. The EP arrives after a stretch of electric live shows alongside drummer Richard Stuverud, known for his work with Pearl Jam, a collaboration that helped sharpen the band’s focus and confidence heading into the recording.
Frontman Jeff Weiss describes “Good Times” as a restless inner dialogue about presence, momentum, and learning how to stay inside moments as they unfold. That tension carries through both the song and its video, which blends whimsical public domain animation with live footage from New York venues including Bowery Ballroom, Sony Hall, Brooklyn Bowl, and Cutting Room. The visuals place the band squarely in their element onstage, grounding the song’s questions in real rooms, real crowds, and shared experience. “Good Times” captures Scotia Rose at a turning point, sounding energized, connected, and fully engaged with the now.
