Phoenix, AZ -- Pop-punk artist Mike Goodrick released his energetic new single, "Try," on July 31st. The track showcases Goodrick's signature blend of catchy hooks, driving guitars, and relatable lyrics, capturing the energy and emotion that fans have come to love. With "Try," Goodrick continues to cement his place in the pop-punk scene, offering listeners an anthem about resilience and moving forward.
“Try” comes on the heels of Goodrick’s first original single in over 15 years, "Songs I Still Skip." In addition to releasing his own music, Mike regularly hosts acoustic, all-request emo nights throughout Arizona, where he brings beloved emo and pop-punk classics to fans in intimate live settings.
"Try" bursts with energy, highlighting Goodrick's knack for blending nostalgic vibes with a fresh, contemporary sound. Featuring infectious hooks and an irresistible chorus, "Try" promises to be a summer anthem listeners will want to play on repeat.
" Try is about being treated like someone's almost. The person who got the late-night calls, the mixed signals, the big feelings, but not the commitment. Then they turn around and give someone else everything they said they weren't ready for." says Mike Goodrick.
ABOUT MIKE GOODRICK
Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, Mike Goodrick is breathing new life into pop-rock as he re-enters the music scene with original music for the first time in 15 years. Goodrick has pioneered and built an astonishing community around playing acoustic emo and pop-punk covers with Acoustic Emo Night. The event centers around crowds who are connected to the music and still look for spaces that represent that. “I’m someone who stepped away from original music for a long time.” Goodrick says. “I’m now finally writing and releasing again from a more mature perspective.”
This solo project hones in on the emo, pop-punk, and acoustic singer-songwriter genres while exuding a refreshing new outlook. “It’s nostalgic, but it’s also adult. It’s about the way old songs, old relationships, and old versions of yourself can still follow you around.” Goodrick says. Being inspired by icons such as Dashboard Confessional, Mayday Parade and Knox to name a few, Goodrick creates a nostalgic atmosphere while keeping his music true to who he is as an artist. “A song can take you right back to a relationship, a friendship, a heartbreak, or a version of yourself you barely recognize anymore.” Goodrick says about the content within his music. “My music lives in that space between looking back and moving forward. It’s about old memories that still have teeth.”
Now, Goodrick finds himself entering a new era with “Try,” released July 31. The song is a follow-up to his single “Songs I Still Skip” making these his first new releases after more than 15 years. ““Try” is about being treated like someone’s emotional test run. It’s about that confusing in-between space where someone acts like they want you, pulls you in, says the right things, then disappears or chooses someone else when things get real.” Goodrick says about the new track. “The song is written from the perspective of finally looking back and asking, “Was any of that real, or did you just want to see if you could?”
Goodrick is set to embark on new territory with the release of his new original music. While the song ventures into the same emotional world, it doesn't deliver just nostalgia,but what life looks like after maturing. Listen to “Try” OUT NOW.
