THE NEW CD FROM THE GOODWILL TITLED, "INSULT, INJURY, ETC..." IS IN STORES NOW!MORE REVIEWS JUST IN!:
"The Long Island quintet may still share some similarities with local peers like Brand New and Taking Back Sunday, but Insult, Injury, Etc. has a toughness and density that distinguishes it from a bazillion other lonely-hearted emo releases out there. " -Revolver
"Equally aggressive version of Thursday or Glassjaw. If you like the AP cover stars (Taking Back Sunday, Hawthorne Heights, Thursday)...you'll probably dig The Goodwill." -Alternative Press
"They have matured into a hard driving rock act with complex dynamics and edgier sound. Their latest album, INSULT, INJURY, ETC... demonstrates their harder, more complex ability with more heady guitar riffs and lyrics that stay away from the boy-girl cliche's." -AMP (American Music Press)
THE REVIEWS:
"Oftentimes bands fall into the trap of watching their musical style and structure grow stale with time. It's always easier not to move ahead and stay with what your familiar with. This is not the case for Long Island's The Goodwill." -Skratch Magazine
"This bright release is such a salvation in comparison to all those boring screamo releases- now I can finally take a breath of fresh air again!" -Punk76.com
"It is definitely one of the most unique albums in quite sometime that could be associated with the pop/punk genre." -Unbound Webzine
"They don't sound like everybody else even if they neatly fit in the melodic punk/indie rock slot. Just the opposite, really. Will appeal to a broad spectrum of listeners." -Fishcomcollective.net
"Overall I have enjoyed this album...it does fit nicely into something which is rightfully raging right now." -Mammoth Press
"I've always sort've tied them (The Goodwill) into a group of bands that were riding the coattails of other bands who've come through this way already. But now that I've heard this, I have no idea what I was thinking." -Wrank Music
"I think this is one of the better emo acts out there today; If youre a fan of bands like Midtown, Glasseater, and Taking Back Sunday check out The Goodwill if you havent already. This also seems like a band that will be around for years." -Pivotal Rage.com
"Designed to destroy, The Goodwill's "Insult, Injury, Etc." does just that. Eleven songs of pure, aggressive, and adrenaline inducing pop-punk that at times embraces a darker, more hard-edged sound." -Adapt Magazine
