"You're So Good, Good, Good You're Great" is Buck Brothers' 2nd single from the forthcoming album "We Are Merely Filters" and this slice of poptastic mystery "It Girl" lampooning is released 13th July.

Here are the reviews...

Rhythm & Booze Fanzine

When you write a website like this and you receive so many CD's through the door it's really easy to misplace a few (or in my case a whole bloody big box full of them) and so a number of fantastic releases get lost in the mists of time like this bouncy ball of brilliance by The Buck Brothers.

Now those of you who have regular readers of this site will have stumbled across reviews of the Buck brothers before (if not do some research!!) and will have already read about my love for the band, well You're So Good Good Good You're Great is more the same, it's an infectious and contagious energetic sub three minute punk anthem that literally had me bouncing around the living room like a loon.

The Buck Brothers make music as it should be fun, frenzied and frantic, there's no deep meaning, no hidden metaphors or cross pollination of genres here, this is just a damn good song with a catchier than the common cold chorus and a handful of chords, it's silly, simplistic and downright essential for anyone who likes loud and fast.

Rhythm & Booze Rating 10/10

The Beat Surrender

This band has plenty of attitude like a modern day version of The Sex Pistols and The Damned. Is it the return of 70’s Punk? I would like to think it was.

This track has all the in your face, listen to what I’ve got to say aggression and anger that has been missing since the end of the original punk era over 20 years ago.

I want to hear more from these and can’t wait to listen to their forthcoming album “We Are Merely Filters”.

I would wager that the Buck Brothers are awesome live.

5/5

What the Buck Brothers lack in any sort of musical complexity they make up for in sardonic wit. Of course the former is not the objective in this kind of pop-punk and hence they score full points in reaching their objectives. While the music alone almost stagnates in tried and tested punk banality, it is the musings of Andy Duke over the culture (or should I say 'cult’) of the saccharine celebrity that propel 'You’re So Good, Good, Good Your Great’ into noteworthy territory.

Doing some research I discovered the Buck Brothers recently gained a Guinness World Record for the highest number of live shows performed in a 12 hour time period. Playing 28 gigs in 10 and a half hours is a testament to their endurance and passion for the art they produce. With all this in mind it seems that this trio have a bright future ahead and good luck to them.

What is it with this band and bloody long song titles? Despite the  
madness of long titles this is another great release from the Buck
Brothers. Despite this not being as catchy as the last single they've
managed to put out another strong number which shows these guys to be
a bloody good Pop-Punk band. I'm surprised no one has released an
album by these guys yet as they could become the UK's answer to the
likes of the Dickies and The Ramones. Support this band buy
purchasing this down load. The Buck Brothers are certainly one band
who deserve your support.

7/10

A cracking pop/punk thrash through the subject of celebrity with witty verses and an insanely catch chorus, and an underlying message any right-thinking person should agree heartily with.

The press release suggests there’s some mystery as to who the celeb in question is. Given the dressed Chihuahua on the single sleeve I reckon I could take a wild stab in the dark.

Released on July 13th, and you could do far worse than pick this up.

Losing Today Review

Buck Brothers ‘you’re so good good good you’re great’ (back2forward).
already responsible for what could have been an impromptu visit to the local emergency casualty unit when their previous outing - the insanely infectious ‘when I look at you (all I think about is sex)’ - sent electrifying sparks across our listening space and had us all a scramble not to mention the rediscovering of our dancing feet which along with hips where going 10 to the dozen in the kind of feats of boisterously brazen bravado scarcely seen here since a woefully memory scarring fateful school disco moment involving one to many sherbet dips, loon pants, a bad choice in dance floor shape cutting, an unrequited childhood sweetheart and a button badge the size of a bin lid from which the London Eye is widely believed to have been modelled on. Enough of the reminiscing. Anyway this is single number two to be culled from the London based trios forthcoming second album ’we are merely fillers’ - a copy of which we’ll have to scout around for as I’m certain we’ve got a copy. ’you’re so good good good you’re great’ again provides further evidence as though any where needed that this lot have been kissed by the fairy of pristine pop either that or they have access to a seam of secretly stashed radio romping 18 carat pure pop gold. A precision honed sub three minute shot of acrylic tinged adrenalin is what you get for your trouble that blisters and veers with such wanton aplomb it literally pins you flat to the wall, a rampantly riot lashed snot nosed power surging pogo pop sortie replete with three chord tuning, oi oi backing harmonies and blessed with ridiculously appetising hooks aplenty that will frankly cane your hi-fi and have you super gluing the repeat button and which ultimately sounds not unlike a face off between a prime time pairing of the Buzzcocks and the Ramones. You have been warned - anti contagion shots are optional. Quite frankly the blighters are toying with us. www.myspace.com/buckbrothers

Get Ready To Rock Review

BUCK BROTHERS ‘You’re So Good Good Good You’re Great’ www.myspace.com/buckbrothers have produced a very catchy single, not a million miles removed from the Buzzcocks in their prime. Fast paced with an instant chorus, a definite hit.

Burnout Music Fanzine (Issue 37 September - October '09)

Some good, old fashioned, accessible punk rock here. Borrowing much from the likes of The Dickies and Buzzocks, this single is a catchy 3 minute rant on the fickle nature of celebrity culture in the noghties, centred on the millionaire offspring and serial amateur porn star Paris Hilton. Buck Brothers a getting a good choice of support slots for major tours for bands from both sides of the pond, most notably Goldfinger, and it's easy to see why. Definitely worth the download.
