History
Good Throb was active between 2010 and 2016. They consisted of KY Ellie (Ellie Roberts) on vocals, BB Thing (Bryony Beynon) on guitar, Ash Tray (Ashleigh Holland) on bass and L-Hard (Louis Harding) on drums. The band formed after having all met through the London punk scene.{{cite magazine |last=Daintith |first=Pat |date=December 2013 |title=Good Throb |url=http://maximumrocknroll.com/issue/mrr-367/ |magazine=Maximum Rocknroll |access-date=10 April 2021}}
They started with the intention of everyone taking part doing something new to them, whether that was playing an instrument or being the vocalist.{{cite web|url=http://www.yellowgreenred.com/?p=6331|title=Good Throb|website=Yellow Green Red|date=15 January 2013|accessdate=11 April 2021}} Beynon and Harding had previously played together in a band called The Sceptres where Beynon was vocalist and Harding was on bass.

They released three 7-inch EPs and one full-length LP. Music journalist Jenn Pelly described them as "raw, primal, ferocious, pissed, crude" and "a manic London post-punk band that hinges between razorsharp cleverness and total disintegration".{{cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/249-down-is-up-17-londons-good-throb-and-playlounge/|title=Down Is Up 17: London's Good Throb and Playlounge|first=Jenn|last=Pelly|website=Pitchfork|date=5 March 2014|accessdate=10 April 2021}}
