“Soaring,” the new single from our top-voted Artist of the Month, GoodKids, sounds like, well, a couple of good kids soaring on comparable feelings. Prominent vocals lend an air of vulnerability from the outset, and the tone is retained once “Soaring" really takes off (sorry) in its final act. The positivity and jingle-jangle pop charm remind me of SoCal ensemble The Mowgli’s, but GoodKids come across that much more intimate for their straight-forward production. Find out when they’re next in your part of town at the band’s Facebook, and get psyched for the show by checking out their Soundcloud. – Brian J.K. Regan
