Good Throb was a feminist punk band from London.
Good Throb was active between 2010 and 2016. They consisted of KY Ellie (Ellie Roberts) on vocals, BB Thing (Bryony Beynon) on guitar, Ash Tray (Ashleigh Holland) on bass and L-Hard (Louis Harding) on drums. The band formed after having all met through the London punk scene.[1]
They started with the intention of everyone taking part doing something new to them, whether that was playing an instrument or being the vocalist.[1][2] Beynon and Harding had previously played together in a band called The Sceptres where Beynon was vocalist and Harding was on bass. Holland later sang in the band Frau.[3]
They released three 7-inch EPs and one full-length LP. Music journalist Jenn Pelly described them as "raw, primal, ferocious, pissed, crude" and "a manic London post-punk band that hinges between razorsharp cleverness and total disintegration".[4]
Guitarist Bryony Beynon was one of several guest vocalists to contribute to Raise Your Voice Joyce: Contemporary Shouts From Contemporary Voices, a compilation of music covertly recorded by the Canadian band Fucked Up in 2018.[5][6]
