In a time where “2 Many” people are content with just nodding their heads and following along, Goodbye Tomorrow stands out as a breath of fresh air – or a symbol of revolution against society’s norms. Surrounded by more mystery than a Hardy Boys’ novel – and coming off of the heels of one of the best albums of 2015 – the Chicago emcee/group uses yet another single to convey yet another substantial message: sometimes it’s cool to say no. I could go on and on, but why don’t I let Goodbye Tomorrow tell you what they were going for with this record:
“This track is born from a place of frustration and defiance. At every stage, there are always barriers to what you want, but when you see it how it really is, those barriers only exist because we’ve all been programmed to see them.The world tries to get you stuck in this eternal loop, where every time you get through a level they just reset the board with the same exact pieces. Freshmen in high school become freshmen in college and so on. New level. New title. Same shit. “Cuz that’s just how it is.” But there’s too many answers like that. Too many protocols and regulations and red tape, but any rules without reason only stand in the way of the world.”
Along with the single, GT has taken this as an opportunity to announce a “BETA” tour with dates planned for Los Angeles (12/13), Chicago (12/17), and New York City (12/22). Given their knack for a great aesthetic and their clever use of technology, I can only imagine these lives shows being something far from a normal concert experience.
