The Vonics – Goodbye (2022)

With potentially their catchiest song to date, The Vonics look at freeing yourself from the things that hold you back in life. ‘Goodbye’ is an upbeat and passionate track that breaks the chains holding you down, while letting you know that you can achieve what you want when you rely on yourself. Marking the first time the band has used brass instrumentation, the single turns catchiness into an art form and will be stuck in your head for long after it has ended.

This breaking of chains comes from Scott Robinson (vocals), Mark Hancox (guitar, vocals), Chris Dixon (guitar), John Webb (bass) and Mark Oliver (drums). The band started with long-time friends Robinson and Hancox feeling the desire to write their own musical material. After meeting Oliver and Webb, they began mixing original songs with covers. The line-up was finalised with Dixon joining.



‘Goodbye’ sweeps its shimmery way into your soul from the first moment. There is an addictive bright energy to the music that hits you in the chest from the first note. You feel the irresistible urge to sway and bop away to the music from start to end. The horns add a lovely burst of brightness to the soundscape, while the rest of the instrumentation brings a lively energy. You can’t help but smile as you listen to the melody and will probably feel the urge to turn the volume up. There is a sunny feeling to the track that makes you think that all of your worries are far away and have no hold on you.

It is not only the melody that makes the single extremely catchy, as the vocals take the happiness high of the track to another level. Robinson’s performance has the lightest growl that bolsters the good vibes woven into each note. As the lyrics wave goodbye to the troubles that hold you down, his performance makes you want to sing along. There is no way you can avoid the catchiness of the track because it has been injected into every aspect of the single. By the end of the single, you will feel light as a feather and know that you only need yourself to be happy.

The Vonics fills our ears with the catchiest single ever as they leave the chains holding us down in the past through the infectious energy of ‘Goodbye’. The music and vocals combine for a catchy and addictive energy that fills every inch of your soul. As you listen to the single, you will wave goodbye to your troubles and face the world with a light energy in your chest.
