Today we have the brand new hit music video from the Springfield group that has evolved from the solo project Good Times featuring Clint Kesinger of the metal band Battalion. The project recently became a full band now called “Good Times & Company.” Today we have their brand new music video for their song “Danger.” The song was recorded at South Town Studio late last year. From the band’s youtube:

The first single from “Good Times & Company” , Danger, was written to be a high energy rock song that makes you move. Performing at Tin Can Pub in Springfield, IL, we wanted to show you a typical rock performance was actually like; no fancy camera tricks, no light show, just us playin’ n drinkn’!

You can check out the video embedded below. Right now the band has one show lined up and that is April 18th at the Crow’s Mill Pub. The band has also said that they will be back in the studio in February to record some more tracks.
