Career
Following their well-received debut
EP Worst Enemy
in 2004, Go Betty Go continued their impressive rise with a series of non-stop coast-to-coast appearances, not the least notable of which was inclusion on the
Warped Tour. Their music is featured in a range of media, from commercials, films and TV shows like
Punk'd
,
One Tree Hill
, Spring Break: The Movie and The
Entertainment Tonight Insider, to video games such as
Burnout 3: Takedown,
The Sims 2: University, and
Fantastic Four, for which the band wrote an original track. They have also been featured in the pages of
Alternative Press,
Seventeen,
L.A. Times and numerous Spanish publications, such as
La Opinión, HOY and Latina.
In 2005, the band released
Nothing Is More
. Produced by
Flogging Molly's
Ted Hutt,
Nothing Is More
is leavened with several differing moods and sounds. Themes of desperation and hope are explored, particularly on opener "Saturday" and "Runaway". "The Pirate Song" goes off the beaten path with a tongue-in-cheek magnetism, enhanced by the
Pogues’
James Fearnley’s accordion and
Ted Hutt’s banjo. A handful of Go Betty Go stage show staples are captured "Crumbling Down", "Donde Voy" and "No Hay Perdon".
