Feet not quite on the ground, heads well above the clouds, The GoStation exists in many places at once. Grounded in the slick streets and liquor-fueled venues of NYC, this five-piece musical force consistently twists rock and pop conventions into bright new forms, echoing sonic sentiments that stretch from mid-'90s Manchester to modern-day Manhattan.
Formed in early 2003, The GoStation has played consistently around its native metropolis, sharing the stage with acts such as Elefant, The Bravery, Robbers On High Street, The Dears, Benzos, Sons & Daughters, The Blue Van, and Morningwood. The band has also performed at the CMJ Music Marathon for the past two years straight, and on New York-based Fearless Music television, a program that has featured everyone from Kasabian and The Datsuns to Ben Lee and Mando Diao.
The Quiet Zone EP marks The GoStation's first official release. Featuring five unforgettable tracks, the disc was recorded in and around NYC with producers Bill Racine (The Flaming Lips, Phantom Planet, Rogue Wave) and Werner F. (The Stills). Songs from the EP have already received airplay from outlets including 92.3 K-Rock, one of New York City's largest commercial radio stations, and a number of online broadcasters.
Anthemic, uplifting, and dynamically diverse, Quiet Zone stands as both a sonic statement of intent and a signal that a new sound is set to burst from a constantly evolving scene. From the heavenly swell of "C'mon" to the ominous swirl of "Hold On," from the relentless drive of "Another Day" to the irresistible glide of "Wandering Away," and all the way through to the epic closing moments of "The Way of the World," the disc reasserts what the band has been proving all along - that a melody or a beat is no more tied to its place of origin than the mind that envisions it.
Meaning that, wherever you are, The GoStation is there. Grab your ticket and hang on for the ride of your life.

I just wanted to say I picked this up because a friend in NYC recommended it to me and it's great. Refreshingly rocking with a kinda Brit angle but not too much.

This band will change everything.
author: Maren Christensen
Their first release is the Quiet Zone EP, an epic set of 5 songs. The opening track is 'C'mon'. Starting off very unassuming, quiet almost, and building towards a sonic boom of voices that melt together like cream. An anthem for the rest of us. This is the kind of song you scream along to with 30,000 other fans. This is a "Don't Look Back in Anger." Uniting, personal, and universal, 'C'mon' proves to be a true statement of the GoStations seemingly endless potential.
Following 'C'mon' is 'Wandering Away'. An obvious radio hit, it smashes into loud and shaking guitars then suddenly transforms into a piece of summer sunshine. Effortless and innocent, Levy's voice proves it can mold and twist to fit a variety of styles and depths.
Darker, moodier, and sexier than its perdecessors comes "Hold On". Like the sound of subway brakes screaming to a halt, the song has a haunting after effect. It has tremendous depth and feels like it's hiding all the secrets of the universe just beneath it's surface. A guitar solo to die for, one that will be envied by the best of the best, comes out of nowhere and leads the song into its final moments and shows what a really fucking amazin guitar player Matt is.
'Another Day' sounds just like what the name suggests-- something different and new. Levy sounds alive and filled with passion and pushes himself to the absolute breaking point. The thing that makes this song truly unique is the speedy, deadly, shredding of Friedlander's guitar. Who do you know that can play guitar this fast and this good? It breaks into two harmonies that bounce around off each other only to fade out into slower vocals and a new chapter of the song. Everything builds up and climaxes at once into a messy, perfect peak.
The closing track on an album is just as important, if not more so, as the opening track.
'Way of the World' manages to bring everything together and provide a truly fitting ending to an amazing collection of music. The vocals sound easy and accessable, Levy seems to be truly having a fantastic time. Stop/start guitar flicks and creative drums ease into a reprise to die for.
This release is the best thing you will hear all year.
