Toronto’s Good Group Thanks for Coming is a band made up of a group of friends, each of whom comes from a different musical background. They combine their talents to create eclectic original songs: it’s all of your favourite music simmered in an indie rock rue and served on a platter from your local dive bar.

“La Da Da Yeah,” the band’s thundering new alt/indie rock single, is a song about smiling through life’s problems and choosing to willfully ignore them instead. Shifting between aggressive gestures and glittering indie rock, Good Group Thanks for Coming leans into themes of frustration, sarcasm, and duality.

“La Da Da Yeah” is, essentially, a song about saying ‘fuck it.’ I wrote it at a time where there was a lot going wrong in my life that I felt powerless to change. I ultimately just had to smile through it and try to have fun even though I knew I was being a little willfully ignorant. The song sounds upbeat but it’s also a list of terribly hurtful things and the more hurtful things I list, the more upbeat the song gets. I know I’m not alone in feeling this way. I wrote this song, not just as my own outlet, but so that we can all commiserate together. – Emily Morse of Good Group Thanks for Coming
