New Go! Team Video - "Grip Like A Vice"
On first listen of the ladies-baiting lead single from recent Sub Pop signees the Go! Team, we heard wild sonics and '80s cadences and really didn't see this vid coming. The technicolor troupe deletes the technicolor, instead offering something black, white, and ostensibly militant and political: check the air raid sirens, allusions to a past time of instrusive cops (working those old-school uniforms), power-to-the-people hands and fists, and some disturbingly white-paper-bagged shotgun/guitarists. And the likeness to former Black Panther Party National Secretary Of Communications Kathleen Neal Cleaver is too much to miss. Our college profs would be proud.
Different kind of a Party-starter from the Team. Their latest, Proof Of Youth, is out 9/11 on Sub Pop. Tracklist after the jump.

I love the song, but a "different kind of party starter"? It sounds pretty much like the Go Team! I know and love.

This song is really awesome, and I think the video is good and highly appropriate. That's what I think.

I really like this new sound from Go! Team. I really didnt like the first album, but this is good stuff.
I also heard they are collaborating with the kids from Rappers Delight Club. That should be some fun music to listen to.
