GO TIME! has been prowling the Chicagoland music scene since 2009, releasing their debut CD, “Speak,” in May of that year. Fast-forward to 2023, where the band has released their ninth offering titled, “Anything Could Happen,” which has garnered numerous positive reviews. Meanwhile, GO TIME! has been out hitting the live stage to promote the 19-track, hard-driving, toe-tapping, finger-snapping, sonic kaleidoscope of sound. Including “Anything Could Happen,” the band has now recorded a total of 156 tracks, tallying nearly nine and a half hours of musical mayhem!

The primary writer/rock wizard and recording engineer behind GO TIME’s wall of sound is Scott, while Paul has also contributed several top-notch songs during the band’s 14 years in existence. The band prides itself on being a democracy, so each member provides input on the vibe, arrangement and overall sound for each song, before it is recorded at Cancer Ranch Studio (a.k.a. “The Beer Bunker”).

The boys’ philosophy is that every day above ground is a good one, so they will continue to invent new music until someone pries their instruments from their hands, or one of them moves to a Florida retirement home.

Scott just can’t get enough rock, so you can catch him most weekends playing acoustic shows at area clubs and breweries, featuring covers you love and GO TIME! classics.
