Good Noise Bad Noise are a loose collective of improvising musicians, sound artists and video artists based in the North of the UK. They play a mixture of electroacoustic music and drone based free improvisation mixing processed field recordings and found sound with live instruments and live visuals.
The group was started by Shaun Blezard & John Hall as a laptop duo as a break from their respective solo projects (Shaun with Clutter & John with The Cardboard Lung after they had toured Cumbrian village halls as a duo in 2006. The village halls tour was part of FRED an arts invasion of Cumbria and involved the duo live processing sounds of the halls and their environs into electroacoustic improvisations.
The band have now grown into a multi-media collective and have played many festivals in the UK as well as just returning from their first tour of the US, where they co-headlined a tour with Atlanta based Duet For Theremin & Lap Steel
GNBN have released or have releases planned on Dokuro Records (Italy), Earth Monkey Productions (UK) & Electronic Musik (UK).

'Marvelous performance in Warrington with a set that contained more than its fair share of truely wonderful moments both sonically and visually' - Fonik
'There will always be those albums, the ones you just love but when someone asks you what is it about the album in particular that you enjoy, you can't put it into words, even though you think it's on the tip of your tongue. Semiotic Clunker had this very effect on me, just one of those great albums that I would just have to make you listen to to understand where I'm coming from. Good Noise Bad Noise are sensational at surrounding the listener with all these various odds and ends, ranging from Pandora's Box chaos to an entrancing industrial sonance' - EXP/Am Review on Semiotic Clunker
'I love the eerie mood to everything, very intriguing, I feel like I am lost in the woods while listening to your sounds, you sound brilliant. It sounds like squeaking doors and the hum of a carpet cleaner, at least the "Shareware" song does, yes I really admire you for this wonderful sound, all of it. I like the wind chimes, and everything is layered together wonderfully' - The Ms.
'yeah, great ambience you got going there. put the mother-in-law on edge for a bit, but hey, i think her cat likes it. i'm really enjoying it, cheers, stuart' - Antisocial Services
'Best thing I've seen since Samuel Beckett's "Paint Drying Time" in 1977' - YouTube comment on Arias Soften Revolt
