Real Power
“Though now inextricably linked to an era of music known for its colourful joie de vivre, Gossip always stood out as especially raucous. Hailing from the fertile arts scene of Olympia, Washington, their wild, charismatic dance-rock exploded into the zeitgeist with 2006’s ‘Standing in the Way of Control’ and its indie disco classic title track. Two full-lengths (2009’s ‘Music for Men’ and 2012’s ‘A ”
Movement

Standing In the Way of Control
“KRS band, always a treat live, hasn't tampered with its dated-for-freshness formula on this, its third album.”
