Ahead of multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated alt-rockers The Goo Goo Dolls’ new release Magnetic on 7 May 2013, one small seed in collaboration with Warner Music Gallo Africa (who have signed the likes of Led Zeppelin and The Black Keys) present you the video to the first single off their tenth album. You can pre-order it on iTunes now, but there’s still some time to pass until it officially hits the stores, so here’s ‘Rebel Beat’, 24 hours prior to its official South African release.
The Goo Goo Dolls have announced the release of their new album, entitled Magnetic, on 7 May, 2013. The debut single from Magnetic, entitled ‘Rebel Beat’, is being met with coast to coast excitement in the US in advance of its official launch.
The band, singer guitarist John Rzeznik, bassist Robby Takac, and drummer Mike Malinin recorded in New York, London and LA with Gregg Wattenberg (Train), Rob Cavallo (Green Day), John Shanks (Bon Jovi) and Greg Wells (Katy Perry). Magnetic is the tenth studio release for the Buffalo, NY trio. ‘I’m so proud of our new album,’ says Rzeznik. I’ve had such a great time and learned so much from the amazingly talented people who worked on it with me.’ He continues, ‘I think that positive energy comes across on the songs. Writing and recording Magnetic changed my thinking about making music and doing it in a fun way.’

The Goo Goo Dolls have sold over ten million albums worldwide, with 14 Top 10 Radio hits, that’s more than any other artist in the history of the Hot AC format. They are the only artist to have three songs on Billboard’s ‘Top 100 Songs from 1992-2012′ including the Number One slot, for ‘Iris’. John Rzeznik has been honoured with the Songwriters Hall of Fame Hal David Starlight Award and they have shared the stage with everyone from The Rolling Stones to Taylor Swift, who recently covered ‘Iris’ with Rzeznik on stage. Most recently Goo Goo Dolls honoured President Barack Obama with a headlining slot at The Creative Coalition’s Inaugural Ball, which took place yesterday in Washington, DC.
