Review: Good Luck – Without HesitationArtist: Good Luck Album: Without Hesitation Genre: Pop-Rock/Indie-Pop Label: No Idea Records Good Luck formed in the summer of 2007 and in the ensuing five years the band have almost perfected their brand of insatiable indie-pop. On their most recent release, Without Hesitation, the band exudes warm, bubbly indie-pop in excess. Creating ear candy that is both terribly sweet and terribly satisfying at the same time. Matt Tobey, guitarist, and Ginger Alford, bassist, share vocal duties on the album. Their shared harmonies and lead vocal trade-offs bares a strong resemblance to Mates of State if Mates of State utilized ...Under The Gun Review8 February 2012

I’m a romantic and I just love the idea of people in love making music together. I feel like it ...KCRW7 February 2012

Mates of State go on a tour of the Northeast ..Gosh, you know what’s just swell? Kittens. Come to mention it, bunnies are swell, too. And adorable, much like perennially heartwarming indie pop duo Mates of State.

Now, here me out: traveling kitten tour. It’s just like going to any rock ‘n’ roll music show, except instead of some sweaty people, the stage is covered with kittens.
