Born from spores mixed with Covid and alcohol, Goat Rope began as a music/drinking project during the pandemic of 2020. From Lake Worth, Florida, the band began writing surprisingly witty songs based on anything ranging from retired bar flies to headless, historical characters. They proudly claim no genre but aggressive rock n roll is a baseline throughout their drunken catalog.
The original members are Ian (vocals, guitar), Allan (bass), and Dino (drums), who spent the pandemic testing the boundaries of their neighborhood noise ordinances and literally “throwing shit at shit and keeping score”. They eventually added Luke (guitar, vocals) because they were sounding too good and needed to be brought down a peg or two. In 2023, Allan left the band and they recruited Tim (bass) and his notorious checkered hat into the fold.
Goat Rope flirts with pop punk before flashing a hardcore breakdown and closing with drunken screams and then starts another tune that sounds completely different while still earning punk rock stripes. These mosquito bitten DIY punks from South Florida invented “Lake Worth Drunk Rock”. Listen for fast-paced rock n roll, occasional hardcore breakdowns, and incredibly addictive solos in songs that make punk rockers grin and bartenders get paid.
