Icelandic rock band KALEO have released a reimagined version of their 2017 GRAMMY®-nominated single "No Good", cleverly titled "Still No Good". Where “No Good” is a powerful anthem about temptation and a raw, almost primal desire that goes beyond rationality, “Still No Good” is a more soulful, acoustic blues track. 

The band's frontman JJ Julius Son describes the song as following: "It’s a grittier, swampier, bluesier version of the original that we’ve been playing around with for years. I’m happy we finally had the chance to record it.”

A/B (deluxe anniversary edition) double-LP is coming out June 12 via Rhino Records, “Still No Good” being one of the eight bonus tracks included in this edition. As a way of commemorating their breakout record, KALEO will be pressing the album, including yet unheard recordings and live performances of original songs, into a limited edition vinyl box set. 

A/B is KALEO’s debut album, released in 2016. Songs like “All The Pretty Girls,” “No Good,” "Way Down We Go“ became hits, with "Way Down We Go” becoming a global sensation, and landing at number one on Billboard's Alternative Rock chart. The song’s popularity could be accredited to it becoming viral on TikTok, spawning over 3 million TikToks.
