The Would-be-goods are back with their elegant and evocative guitar pop.
Jessica Griffin, enigmatic star of 80s cult label él, is at the helm, with guitarist Peter Momtchiloff (Talulah Gosh, Heavenly), Debbie Green, drummer and darling of the London nineties garage scene (Headcoatees), and Andy Warren, legendary bassist of Adam and the Ants and The Monochrome Set.
They will be showcasing songs from their recent release ?The Night Life? as well as favourites from their five critically acclaimed studio albums.

?The elegance of Jessica Griffin?s writing? romantic with a capital R, and tender to a T? pretty impressive stuff.? (In Love With These Times - Albums of the Year)

?Wonderful, bittersweet, warm and intelligent pop songs? (Eardrums)
??smart words, lush baroque pop and stylish taste? (Chickfactor)
?Would-be-goods pick up the mantle largely vacated by songwriters like Ray Davies and Morrissey? Griffin?s songwriting is recognizable for its deeply mysterious melodies? In short, you?d be hard pressed to find a better guitar-pop album released this year.? (Delusions of Adequacy)
