Australian alt-pop group Cub Sport have released the video for “Good Guys Go” - the third official single off of their sophomore album, BATS. The track is about an unfortunately common theme; being in a relationship where you’re doing everything you can to keep the other person up and make sure they’re happy, but that attention and love isn't being reciprocated.
