The Pleasure Dome - Good Luck

Release 2023/09/15
Bristol grunge-rock/punk trio The Pleasure Dome are pleased to reveal their new single 'Good Luck', which is out now on all good streaming platforms.

The single is the latest to be taken from their debut album EQUINOX which is released via their new label home Hound Gawd! Records.

Recorded in Wales in February 2023 at the secluded Mwnci Studios over a week, EQUINOX was produced by friend of the band Tom Smith, mixed by James Trevascus (Beak, Billy Nomates) and mastered by Jack Endino (Nirvana, Mudhoney).

A driving, full-throttle assault that shows the heavier side of the trio's snaking garage punk, 'Good Luck' grooves along on a helter-skelter riff that never lets up for the duration of the single's blink-and-you'll-miss-it runtime.

Commenting on the new track, frontman Bobby Spender says: "'Good Luck' is about being too scared to talk to someone you fancy. I had a crush on a bartender at a venue we played while on tour in Belgium. The next day we picked up our gear, we were chatting and I fancied her so much but I didn't say anything. When we said goodbye, she said 'Good Luck' and it left me feeling like I had anything but."

"I wrote the song the next night in the Netherlands and the following night we debuted it at the legendary Vera, Groningen in the Netherlands when we got an encore. We'd been learning it in the dressing room and played it once in soundcheck. It's a burst of energy. Like with the rest of the album, we recorded live without a click, so that stop near the end before we all come back in was natural. It happened by mistake on stage when I forgot to play the riff, but we all came back in together in time so we kept it as part of the song."
