Up To Anything

Louis Forster, James Harrison and Riley Jones are all 17-18 years old. They

make pop music. They have refined tastes - they love the Pastels, Talking

Heads, Galaxie 500, Bob Dylan and Arthur Russell. On Up To Anything

they pull off the almost impossible, capturing the awkwardness, self-doubt

and visceral excitement of teenage life, while still in the thick of actually

living it.

The band formed around high school friends James and Louis in 2013, and

some scrappy duo-era home recordings still linger on the internet. Riley

joined in early 2014, after a month of drum lessons, and the band played

their first show a few months later.

Chapter signed The Goon Sax in 2015 on the strength of an unsolicited

demo, the first time that has ever happened in the label's history. We intro-
duced the band to the world via music conference Bigsound last year, and

singles Sometimes Accidentally and Boyfriend have since been featured

on the likes of Stereogum, NME, BBC6 and Brooklyn Vegan.

They've gone on to play with the likes of US Girls, Twerps, Blank Realm

and Crayon Fields, and have a spot on Brisbane Laneway Festival in Febru-
ary.

Goon Sax songs are both immediately charming and deceptively deep -

Sweaty Hands examines a point in a relationship where you're seen at your
