GODDO – Who Cares [Rock Candy Remastered +11] (2019) *EXCLUSIVE*

Rock Candy Records has just remastered for the first time the first 3 GODDO albums, including bonus tracks. One of the pioneer hard rock bands from Canada, Goddo power-trio hard rock style was pretty unique. Here’s the band’s second album, “Who Cares”, regarded as their finest moment, including massive bonus tracks: 11.

Canadian rock has always offered up something quite unique and impressive. I don’t know if it’s something to do with the water supply or that their musician’s brains are wired differently, but Canadian recordings are, more often than not, overflowing with a depth of complexity that dwarfs similar acts from other countries.
It’s a strange phenomenon for sure but entirely true and Goddo are no exception to that rule.

Formed as a crushing power trio during the mid-Seventies, led by polymath Greg Goddo on bass, the band quickly rose to prominence on their debut album; laying down a foundation of meaty riffs and intriguing songs laced with acerbic lyrics and the sort of wit that still raises a chuckle.
But let’s not for one moment suggest that Goddo were a comedy act; far from it. The serious musical assault and intense lyrical delivery suggests a band with a keen eye on the bigger prize.

“Who Cares”, recorded in Toronto, and issued in 1978, showcases a band on the move. Whilst their debut album made a firm case for pummelling hard rock, “Who Cares” lays down the law in similar fashion but also pushes the envelope, introducing more complex arrangements and acoustic parts, like the cello accompaniment to ‘Tough Times’.
But if it’s meat and potatoes rock that you desire look no further than ‘Cock On’, the killer ‘Too Much Carousing’ and, their could have been hit single ‘Sweet Thing’.
And we have here no less then 11 bonus tracks!

Goddo is quite unknown band, a kick ass too, one to discover with this clear RC remaster. This album is one of the cornerstones of Canadian rock, make no mistake.
Highly Recommended
