The Goodness are a five piece band with their roots based in the city of Bristol. They formed in Feb 2007 after meeting at St. Brendan’s Sixth Form College and played their first gig at the Louisiana just two months later.
They now have an ever growing loyal fan base as well as building a strong reputation on the Bristol Music Scene.
In June 2008 they self-released ‘The Shape Of Things To Come EP’ as a follow up to their debut E.P ‘Run & Hide' (also self-released).
In October 2008 they were given(and took) the opportunity to go to the well respected Sawmills studios in Cornwall and work with John Cornfield (Muse, Oasis, Razorlight) & Paul Travers (Co-founder of the Eden Project & Sessions). You can hear the outcome on the myspace player now.
"The Goodness are not at all ordinary in fact, they're actually a bit special!!"

"The fact that they possess a sound that is both accessible enough for mass appeal and intelligent enough for the approval of beardoes up and down the land may very well make them unstoppable"

"This is a good EP (Run and Hide), from a band who have obviously got a lot of talent!"
BRISTOL ROCKS (www.bristolrock.co.uk)
"It’s obvious why The Goodness have attracted a loyal Bristol fan base in the year they’ve been together; they offer something that we’ve been missing… catchy tunes with a bit of genuine feeling for once."
SUIT YOURSELF MAGAZINE
"A band made up of five very talented lads.... They’ve got some real power behind them.... This band doesn’t hold back on their performance, which resulted in a very strong seven song set." (Live Review)
