Pop-rock rebels Good Time Locomotive are fast becoming known for a diverse back catalogue, with flamboyant energy, funky rhythms and an infectious honesty. Formed in lockdown, the initial tracks were written and recorded over Zoom.
Now with years of fully-fledged performances and full-band sessions behind them, they’ve built a steady momentum across EPs and singles, commanding radio-ready hooks and collaborating with Grammy-winning producers.
New single ‘Star’ is brimming with a facetious swagger, capturing the frustration, ambition, and a craving for fame. With a theatrical flair in its glimmering synths and punchy percussion, it’s alt-rock at heart, but offers a knowing wink at the dark side of boundless self-confidence.
They add, “This is a song definitely born out of the frustration of being an up-and-coming musician. All you really want is enough of a platform to be able to do music every day, but you have to sell yourself as a product for anyone to take notice of the thing that matters the most, the music! This song is a sarcastic take on that premadona rock star dream that, ironically, is what we all want.”
