The Toronto based Good Group Thanks For Coming wants to take all of the music that they love and blend it together into something new. It’s a music of everything, lovingly curated to share with everyone. They make musical sandwiches, music soup, music pizza; all your favourite music simmered in an indie rock rue and served on a platter from your local dive bar.

“It’s a Game,” the band’s innovative and layered latest single, has simultaneous intentions. An ode to gaming, internet humor and learning to cope, the song is loaded with metaphors that liken life to playing games and even has little games written into itself.

Production wise, “It’s a Game” utilizes all three singers of the group sharing lead vocal duties. During a writing brainstorm, they thought of ways to make it more interesting than just trading verses leading to the game style composition. Each chorus expands by an extra line that references the verse that immediately came before it and is inspired by campfire songs like “There’s a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea.”
