Never content to sit still on the sidelines, Silly Goose slip through styles with a slick swagger. They’re salty enough to bust out a rap-rock banger that could just as easily light up the phones at TRL back in the day or the pit at Sonic Temple next year. At the same time, their emotionally charged melodies are smooth enough to get stuck in your head and stay there. Boasting an intoxicating blend of heavy metal, hip-hop, and alternative, they might steal your girl on one track, escape from prehistoric predators on another, or slyly address society’s struggles on the next. Stacking millions of streams, earning widespread acclaim, and packing houses on tour, the group—Jackson Foster [vocals], Alan Benikhis [drums], and Ian Binion [guitar]—consistently flip the script without apology on their second full-length LP and Blue Grape Music debut, Keys To The City.

“The music goes in directions you might not expect,” promises Jackson. “There’s the lighthearted party vibe that Silly Goose is sort of known for. However, there are new elements. The songs get heavier, and it’s a little angrier too. For me, a track can be serious or crazy, but the subject matter will always be cohesive. We want you to be able to tell what every song is about and know exactly what we’re saying.”
