![]() Harwell sat out a number of 2021 shows due to reported health issues and then retired after an afternoon gig in Bethel, New York in October during which he slurred his words, cursed at fans and threatened them and appeared unwell. At press time a spokesperson for Smash Mouth had not returned a request for comment and Goode had not responded to questions about his new gig a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to Billboard that Goode was tapped as the band’s new singer after an extensive nationwide search that involved “thousands of submissions” and auditions with a handful of the top candidates.Īnd though Rick Astley‘s iconic 1987 hit “Never Gonna Give You Up” has become a legendary internet troll via the patented bait-and-switch “RickRoll,” Smash Mouth seem to have christened their new era with a fairly faithful, but decidedly Mouth-y cover of the song in which Goode appears to strike the perfect blend of scratchy Harwell-esque vocals and his own upbeat vibe. His site also notes his voiceover work for Taco Bell, Mattel and Hot Wheels and his work as a party DJ. He has fronted more than half a dozen bands over the years according to his official website, including the “rock, comedy, rap and barbershoppe” Weezer/Beastie Boys cover band Geezer, the yacht rock cover band Windbreakers, the 80s hits bar band Neon Jeans, 70s cover act Cougar Getting, Jr., rap-rock-reggae act Ghoulspoon and hard rock/reggae/punk band Divided By Zero Goode also performs as a solo acoustic singer/songwriter. Goode told Kenney he came of age in San Diego in the 1990s where he played at the city’s famed Soma club alongside P.O.D., Blink-182, Sugar Ray and Korn.
