# LA’s GO BETTY GO Releases New EP “Black & Blue” on Sept 13 via Wiretap Records - Link: https://www.nyrdcast.com/las-go-betty-go-releases-new-ep-black-blue-on-sept-13-via-wiretap-records/ - Published: 2024-09-13T14:00:00-05:00 - Author: Eugene Tierney ### **LA’s Go Betty Go Releases New EP “Black & Blue” on September 13 via LA’s Wiretap Records** It’s been twenty-four years since the Los Angeles-based Go Betty Go hit the music scene with their unique brand of spicy pop punk, and nine years since their last EP release. Today, the band delivers _Black & Blue_, showcasing not only their talent but also their resilience. Go Betty Go’s music is driven by Betty Cisneros’ roaring guitar, Nicolette Vilar’s soulful vocals, Michelle Rangel’s momentous bass, and Aixa Vilar’s powerful drumming. [⌊Go Betty Go⌉⌊Go Betty Go⌉[ Nicolette explains, “_Black & Blue_ is an EP that has been a long time in the making. We started working on these songs as soon as the pandemic broke out but had to pause like everyone else in the world at that time. As soon as it was clear we could get back together and work in the studio, we received Betty’s Stage 4 cancer diagnosis in May 2022, which hit us all hard. “But we decided to keep moving forward, stand strong, and do everything in our power to help Betty fight.” Betty adds, “We’ve been through it all as a band. _Black & Blue_ took as long as it needed to, but my love for these girls only grew during the process. I’m just so happy we got it done! Still can’t feel my fingers, though!” The EP features six tracks, including two newly recorded live-show fan favorites from early in the band’s career. _Black & Blue_ was produced by Davey Warsop (The Used, Face to Face, Chuck Ragan, Matt Skiba) and is available via Wiretap Records.

Two of the songs, ‘City Lights’ and ‘Am I To Blame,’ were written years ago when Emily Wynne-Hughes, aka Emily Valentine, was in the band. We have a two- decade-long history, but there was a time when I quit the band, and Emily stepped in to take the reins. I’ve been back for many years, but this EP brought the band’s history full circle as we invited Emily back to rework some of those original songs that had never been released.” [⌊Go Betty Go⌉⌊Go Betty Go⌉[ Emily adds, “This record has been a long time coming. Some of these songs were written over a decade ago and have only ever been played live. It’s been a gift to be part of this EP, and I’m so lucky to have the chance to perform live with Go Betty Go again. Shoutout to Nicky for letting me share the mic!” Michelle continues, “_Black & Blue_ is a special album. We went through so many emotions during the core months of working on it. We worked slowly and steadily with all the wildness life sent our way. On this album, I feel we truly captured the authentic sound of each one of us that makes up GBG.” Go Betty Go formed in 2000 and quickly rose to the forefront of LA’s local punk scene thanks to their catchy guitar riffs and poppy yet sultry melodies. The band signed to independent punk label SideOneDummy Records and swiftly ascended from local shows to national recognition. They released their debut EP, _Worst Enemy_, in 2004, followed by _Nothing Is More_ in 2005, and took the DIY approach with their 2015 EP _Reboot_. In 2023, they joined forces with the Los Angeles label Wiretap Records. Their music is in rotation on SiriusXM’s Underground Garage, garnering a New Music Spotlight and the title of “Coolest Song in the World,” and their songs have been featured in the Netflix series _Cobra Kai_ and the Hulu movie _Prom Dates_. _Black & Blue_ is also available as a limited-edition 12″ LP here: [Go Betty Go – “Black & Blue” 12″ LP – WIRETAP RECORDS (limitedrun.com)](https://wiretaprecords.limitedrun.com/products/827911-go-betty-go-black-blue-12-lp) Watch the video for “Party At Sea” [here](https://youtu.be/yTRZ4nVn4lA?feature=shared).
