"This has always been my favourite of the "initial" batch of SLF albums. I felt like we were diversifying yet still retaining the essential spirit of the band on it". [Jake Burns, SLF]
All punk bands must grow or die, or so the story goes. Rehashing the same three chords works for a record or two (unless you're the Ramones, then it's fine) but gets tired quickly. However, the converse is also true. Change too much and the fans cry "sellout!", an unenviable situation for any band, but particularly acute for Northern Irish firebrands Stiff Little Fingers. After producing two essential studio albums and one classic live album, SLF demonstrated on GO FOR IT that they could both adapt and remain true to the sound that had made them successful.
Like their contemporaries The Clash, SLF looked to the looping rhythms of reggae (and particularly dub reggae) as fodder for an expanded musical palate. "Roots, Radicals, Rockers and Reggae" and "Safe as Houses" demonstrate that they had made a particularly astute choice. Along with reggae's influence are touches of subtle, effective pop on the sweet "Gate 49" and even a horn section (!) on the tongue-in-cheek "Silver Lining," one of the prettiest odes to bad luck ever written.
This release contains bonus audio interview.
