ABOUT GOONS

​

Pop songwriting power couple Goons is comprised of

Cole and Sydney Burris. Goons is a

nostalgia inducing indie alt pop band that draws from

all of your favorite 80s sounds while adding a modern

flare and originality. NPR writes, “Fellow Stranger Things

fans know the nostalgic value of '80s-inspired synth-pop...

One of the most creative productions I've seen this year.

No spoilers here. You'll have to see it to believe it. But I'll

just say this: Let the games begin.”

Producer Timothy Cole Burris grew up listening to bands like The Cars, ACDC, Journey, and Duran Duran, which has given him a unique, retro sounding production style. Linn Drums, screaming electric guitar solos, and hooky synth lines drive a lot of the Goons sound.

​

Sydney Burris grew up singing and acting in musical theatre and focuses heavily on lyrics and chord progressions when writing music. The pair of them together create a very unique, interesting, fun style of music that you really have to listen to yourself to be able to describe.
