Gooseberry - The Protagonist

To Rate
★ Verse 1 ★
It's safer when the wind blows
The world rushing all around
We're driving with our eyes closed
It's better when the window's rolled down
We're drowning out the sirens
Rainbows end in violence
I'm laughing 'cause I've lost all control

★ Chorus ★
Show me something new
And I'll waste it
I made this all for you
Come taste it
The TV is all that's real
The only thing that really matters
And I am the protagonist

★ Verse 2 ★
It's safer when the wind blows
The leaves share a dirty secret
The rain falls on your nose
The treasure's wherever you leave it
Let's go get lost again
Misery is our friend
And she's been here since I let her in

★ Chorus ★
Show me something new
And I'll waste it
I made this all for you
Come taste it
The TV is all that's real
The only thing that really matters
And I am the protagonist

★ Chorus ★
Show me something new
And I'll waste it
I made this all for you
Come taste it
The TV is all that's real
The only thing that really matters
And I am the protagonist

Gooseberry

Gooseberry is a 4-piece band from Brooklyn, New York born during the Fall of 2019. Their combination of indie rock and soul is a recipe for a unique sound that Gooseberry delivers in each song. The band consists of Asa Daniels (formerly of Baked Goods) on guitar/vocals, Evin Rossington (drums), Sam Rappaport (keys, vocals), and Will Hammond (bass).

The band is a genre-bending alchemy of many disparate elements. They are often referred to as having “two bands in one.” This phenomenon can be attributed to the distinctly different approaches of their two chief songwriters—Asa and Sam. It is this dynamic that enables Gooseberry to deftly maneuver from a song like The Protagonist, which comeherefloyd described as “indie goodness” with a “catchy melody, pulsing beat, and boastful guitars,” to a song like Berkshires, which NYS Music says harkens “back to major influences like D’Angelo, Donny Hathaway, and Stevie Wonder.” While the pandemic put a halt to live music right about the time Gooseberry teamed up, the group kept busy, recording and releasing three singles which have racked up greater than 100K streams to date. Per Tonemill, “The music feels live, organic and…we can imagine belting out adoringly while swaying our bodies at a Gooseberry gig.” Gooseberry’s debut EP is due out in 2022.

New on the block, Gooseberry has already begun developing a devoted following in and around New York City, running the full gamut of venues from The Bowery Electric to DROM to house shows across the boroughs, quickly staking their claim in the ever-lively Brooklyn music scene. Fans know they’ll be kept on their toes, as the band moves in and out of genres and styles, always keeping the crowd engaged. The band expects a big year on the road in 2022, starting off with gigs at famous NYC hotspots like The Knitting Factory and Mercury Lounge.
