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.
