Goose shared their new single “Royal” everywhere via No Coincidence Records, and the track plants its feet firmly from the first note with a tight, muscled groove built on a bombastic opening riff. Dirty guitar licks accented by playful Wurlitzer hits introduce the story of Royal, a transient musician whose burning ambition threatens to get the best of him, and the song bounces and heaves with serious 70s roots rock sensibility. Stutter step lyrics give way to the scorching tone of Rick Mitarotonda’s guitar as he uncorks a gritty, high octane solo pushed forward by slapping bass and a driving, metronomic beat that refuses to let up. This is Goose flexing their chops and proving they can channel classic rock energy while making it sound completely fresh and alive, delivering a track that grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go until the final note rings out.
