Gone For Good is part of the new crop of bands erupting out of the
Connecticut music scene. Unlike many modern bands, however, Gone For
Good possess various qualities that would be hard-pressed to find in
any singular band. The band boasts a modern sound with classic
overtones, taking cues from every decade of rock’n’roll - from early
Doors to the dominant era of James Brown to the swinging sounds of
Stray Cats to the nerd-rock of Weezer and the modern thump of Queens Of
The Stone Age - and blend them into their own alternative sound.
The band formed in the fall of 2006 after playing in various local
bands for the better part of a decade. After playing a gig with a band
that featured drummer Josh Leece, guitarist/vocalist Nicholas T. Johns
and bassist/vocalist Ryan Perkins decided that they wanted Leece in
their band. A handle of Southern Comfort later, Leece agreed and Gone
For Good was born.
The band released their debut self-titled EP last December and are
playing in support of that release. They will hit the studio in 2008 to
work on their full length debut. In the meantime, they will be touring
throughout the Northeast and making festival appearances this summer.
