After a whirlwind in 2024 that solidified them as one of the most exciting forces in the UK underground scene, Good Time Locomotive is kicks off 2025 with their self-titled EP. Packed with infectious grooves, high-energy hooks, and deep emotional resonance, the six-track release is a testament to the band’s dynamic musicality and fearless songwriting.
Featuring previously released singles “GTL” and “Stay Close”, the EP highlights the group’s ability to seamlessly blend disco melodies, funk-infused guitar licks, and pop-rock sensibilities. Their signature sound is rooted in a nostalgic yet forward-thinking spirit, striking a balance between feel-good anthems and introspective storytelling.
Drummer and co-songwriter James captures the essence of the project, stating: “Music is one of the most powerful emotional experiences a human being can have, so we’ve always strived to write songs that make you feel in the most visceral way possible. This EP covers everything—from the love of the party to overcoming grief, regret, lost love, and the need for human unity. So we cover most bases, I think!”
From the euphoric highs of their indie rock anthems to the poignant depth of their ballads, Good Time Locomotive ensure that every track delivers an immersive and cathartic listening experience. Their ability to infuse raw emotion into upbeat, danceable melodies makes this release both energetic and heartfelt, promising to resonate with fans old and new.
Since forming in 2020, the London-based band has consistently pushed creative boundaries, evolving from their early days of writing via Zoom during the COVID lockdown to becoming a standout act in the UK’s alternative pop-rock scene. With a growing fanbase and a reputation for electrifying live performances, Good Time Locomotive prove with this EP that they’re not just along for the ride—they’re driving the train.
Good Time Locomotive’s self-titled EP is an exhilarating fusion of nostalgia and fresh energy—brimming with groove, emotion, and unrelenting momentum. A must-listen for indie rock fans looking for both euphoria and depth.
