Emerging from London’s vibrant indie scene, Good Health is a five-piece band poised to make a significant impact with their debut EP, The Grass is Turning Green Again. On January 31, they’ll be celebrating this milestone with a headline show at London’s Strongroom Bar as part of Independent Venue Week. This marks an exciting new chapter for the band, who have spent years refining their sound and pushing their music in new directions.


Known for their immersive live performances, Good Health has been meticulously preparing to bring their new songs to life, incorporating electronic elements and visual components to create a holistic experience for their audience. Fans can also get a taste of what’s to come by streaming Midas, the third single from the EP, now available on Spotify.


Ahead of the show, we caught up with Good Health to talk about the journey leading up to this release, the inspirations behind their music, and what fans can expect from their upcoming performance.




Your debut EP The Grass is Turning Green Again is just around the corner! How does it feel to be on the verge of releasing this project into the world?


There’s a real sense of accomplishment and relief. It feels like we’ve been sitting with these songs for so long—some have been in the works for three years—and to finally release them feels like a weight lifting. But more than that, it feels like opening a door. This EP represents a huge milestone for us, but it also clears the way for everything we want to explore next. We’ve grown so much as musicians and songwriters during this process, and we’re already thinking about how to push things further in the future.


What inspired the EP’s title? Is there a central theme tying the tracks together?


We actually have Will’s dad to thank for the title. One morning, he casually said, “The grass is turning green again” while looking out the kitchen window, and it just stuck with us. It felt like such a simple but profound statement—something about change, renewal, and things moving forward.

Lyrically, the EP is a mix of personal struggles and triumphs. Since all five of us contribute to the songwriting, the songs naturally reflect different aspects of our lives, but they all come back to themes of growth, reflection, and moving through uncertainty. Some tracks explore frustration and longing, while others capture moments of clarity or acceptance. It’s a snapshot of where we’ve been, both as individuals and as a band.


How would you describe the sound of this EP for someone hearing Good Health for the first time?


It’s a blend of our roots and our new inspirations. We’ve been playing music together since we were young teenagers, so there’s an innate chemistry between us that’s carried over into this project. But sonically, we’re always evolving. This EP takes elements of the indie and alternative bands we grew up on—like Bombay Bicycle Club—and fuses them with more experimental and textural influences, like They Are Gutting A Body of Water. It’s dynamic, sometimes raw, sometimes atmospheric, but always driven by a sense of energy and emotion.


You’re headlining Strongroom Bar this Friday for Independent Venue Week. What makes this show special for you?


Playing at Strongroom as part of Independent Venue Week is a huge honor for us. These kinds of spaces are the backbone of live music, especially in London, and it’s amazing to be part of a movement that’s all about celebrating and supporting them.

Beyond that, this show is special because it’s our chance to fully bring this EP to life. We’re introducing so many new songs, and there’s something electrifying about playing them in a room full of people for the first time. It’s a mix of excitement and nerves, but mostly, we just can’t wait to share this moment with everyone who’s been supporting us.


Can fans expect anything unique or surprising at Friday’s show?


Definitely. We’ve been really focused on making our live set feel like a complete experience, rather than just a collection of songs. That means we’ve been weaving in more electronic elements, writing interludes, and making sure everything flows in a way that feels immersive. We’ve also been working on integrating visuals to add another layer to the performance. It’s something new for us, and we’re excited to see how people respond to it.


Your music has drawn comparisons to bands like Viagra Boys and Fontaines D.C. How did those influences shape this EP?


We take inspiration from a lot of places, but those two bands definitely played a role in shaping certain songs on the EP. Nutribullet, for example, has a bit of that satirical, almost absurd energy that Viagra Boys do so well—it’s our tongue-in-cheek take on consumerism and the relentless cycle of buying into things that don’t really matter.

With Fontaines D.C., it’s more about how they craft a mood. Skinty Fia had a big impact on us in the way it establishes such a strong sense of atmosphere while blending different genres. That ability to create a world within an album, where every track feels like it belongs but still pushes in different directions, is something we really admire and tried to channel into our own writing.


As a five-piece, how do you navigate collaboration when creating music?


Our songwriting process is pretty fluid, but it almost always starts with one person bringing in an idea—maybe a riff, a melody, or a lyrical fragment. From there, we take it into the rehearsal space and let it evolve. Everyone adds their own perspective, and we’re not afraid to completely deconstruct and rebuild a song if it means making it stronger.

It’s not always a quick process—sometimes it takes weeks of playing a song over and over to really refine it—but that’s what makes it exciting. The final version of a track often sounds nothing like the original idea, but it always ends up feeling like the best version of itself. It’s a truly collaborative effort, and we all trust each other enough to let the music take whatever shape it needs to.


How does this EP reflect where Good Health is right now as a band, and where do you see yourselves going next?


This EP represents the start of something bigger for us. It’s our way of planting a flag and saying, “This is who we are right now,” but we’re already looking ahead. We see it as a stepping stone, both in terms of our sound and how we push ourselves creatively. We want to keep experimenting, refining our songwriting, and exploring new ways to connect with people through our music.

The goal is to never get too comfortable. We’re always challenging ourselves, whether that’s through new sounds, different structures, or pushing our performances to new levels. This EP is just the beginning.


For someone coming to Friday’s show or discovering you through the EP, what’s the one thing you want them to know about Good Health?


That we’re all-in on this. Every song, every performance, every moment—we pour everything into it. We care deeply about what we’re creating, and we want that to come across in every way possible.


Finally, what’s one message or feeling you hope people take away from The Grass is Turning Green Again or your live show?


We hope they feel the same passion and energy that we put into this music. We give everything we have when we play, and if people can walk away feeling something—whether that’s excitement, connection, or just a sense of being part of something special—then we’ve done what we set out to do.
