Sometimes reading about the return of something is more exciting than the actual return. Such is the case with “Rebel Beat,” the new single from Goo Goo Dolls which found its way online over the weekend. Filled with radio-ready riffs and lyrics so simple they could be used to teach elementary students a better understanding of our language, the track oozes with apathy towards the band’s core fan base. It’s a shameless push for success in my opinion, and you can see if you agree by streaming the song below.
Goo Goo Dolls are expected to reveal details about their forthcoming 2013 release in the near future. Stay tuned to UTG for updates.

I totally disagree with you. I’m a long time Goo Goo Dolls fan and I find it fresh and upbeat with John’s classic lyric style built right in. If you listen to a song and it makes you feel good, it is a winner! I give them kudos for going in a different direction and this catchy tune will be a huge hit!!
Am gonna have to disagree with you there! Goo Goo Dolls new song “Rebel Beat” is a winner to my eyes. i see this song as away of relating to and having all out fun with this song it’s very catchy and groovy i must say! this song is absolutely amazing i think the band did absolutely spectacular on this song and i just know millions of fans out there are gonna feel the same way with this groovy song called “Rebel Beat”. good luck Goo Goo Dolls on this brand new album coming out this spring! =)
I disagress with you too! I think the songs is great and love the lyrics. I think this could be a number 1 hit! Don’t know what ears or eyes your hearing or seeing with, but your are wrong for sure!
This song is the definition and epitome of “Mom Rock”. Barb, Retha, Denise… You three ladies prove my point completely.
A sweet, intimate song with a summer twist and the message in the right place.
With all due respect, the only point that I see made is that the song is fun,
upbeat, and full of life, which is something we positive people enjoy!
Btw…you know nothing if we are Moms or not, so next time you make someone
your example, do your homework first!
