Sometimes the best rock comes from the heart of the city with an old soul, Dave Goddess Group is no exception. Please enjoy this rather compelling clip of old school NY rocker Dave Goddess talking briefly about the fight for relevance (against agesim) and the longing to create 'Something New'.
Something New is Dave Goddess Group's debut and was mixed by renown rock producer Ed Stasuim (The Ramones, Soul Asylum, Talking Heads, The Smithereens).

Of the legendary Stasium’s involvement, Goddess explains, “Ed was really the perfect guy to understand the rock/soul spirit of the album and to bring that out. Ed constantly surprised me; he was able to take it to a higher place.”
The results of this dynamic collaboration are all there in the mix. From the driving rock title cut, “Something New,” until the last notes of the jangly “I Can Dream,” DDG create a dialed-in, roots-based blend that melds a 70’s vibe with exuberant 80’s guitars. Nowhere is this more apparent than on “Sweet Miss Understanding,” a song that showcases Goddess’s on target songwriting and ability to deliver raw, accessible lyrics with guts and soul: “bittersweet and complicated, the pattern set so long, she has her reasons, I have mine.”
Other highlights include the gloriously anthemic “Call Of The Wild” and the catchy, up-tempo groove of “Luck Guy” featuring horn players from The Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge tour. Ironically, Something New feels more like a pair of old jeans than a debut: familiar, comfortable and torn in all the right places.
