Goddard are a 4-piece from Worcester, Massachusetts, U.S.. In June, 2013 they released a split with Giraffes? Giraffes!, in which their 2 tracks were recorded by Steve Albini. http://goddard.bandcamp.com/ Their signature sound can be found in their simple, yet layered approach to songwriting. Their songs distill a narrative-based song structure system, distinctive melodies and shifting dynamics. They list bands such as Drive Like Jehu, Nirvana, Don Caballero, Fugazi, Hum, Shellac and Slint as their main influences.
