"The future of New York music" is how influential angular-rocker Tom Verlaine of the band Television described Goodfinger’s sound after seeing them live...
Ever since the release of their 5 song EP featuring “Outside” and “I Know I Know You”, Goodfinger has been captivating critics and fans alike with red- hot performances in both the U.S. and the U.K.
Lead singer and New York-based artist Scrappy Calloway’s sultry rich voice & feisty attitude leads her solid, rhythmic, back-bone of a band consisting of Co-writer, Producer and Drummer, Mike Williams, “One-take-Frank Ciara” on bass and the lush sounds of Seth Skolnick on guitar. Goodfinger’s debut album, Killing with Kindness, is a perfect soundtrack with candid tales of far-off lands, (“Radio Perfecto” & “Sounds of the City”), relationships in limbo, (the dance orientated “Another Night”), a confession of a one-night stand, (Untouchable), and love in a new light, (the sex-pot explosion, “Love Digitale”). A feeling of raw exposed emotion resonates from deep within Miss Calloway’s vocals on the epic “Ghost” & “Killing with Kindness”, the unapologetic ‘”Said and Done” and the stripped down closing ballad ‘And so we are Forever’.
Mixed in part by Platinum selling producer, Tim O’heir (All American Rejects, Sebadoh, StellaStarr), and including two tracks produced by noted producer Andy Chase (Ivy, Tahiti 80, Juliana Hatfield) this new found sound moves forward with a strong sense of abandon.
With songs placed subliminally on VH1 and MTV, appearances by Miss Scrappy in one of the biggest selling video games of all time, Grand Theft Auto 4 and on the hit TV show Gossip Girl you feel like you almost know GOODFINGER ... ...maybe "the future of New York music" has already arrived?
