Go! was founded in 1989 by fanzine editor and singer Michael Bromberg a few months after he left New York Hardcore band SFA.^[1] During the three years of the original line-up they released a series of EPs. One of the EPs (Your Power Means Nothing) was produced by Don Fury.^[2] The band completed several tours through Europe (e.g. 1990 together with Bad Trip)^[3] and the United States. In New York they were involved in the nonprofit arts organization ABC No Rio. In 1991 singer Bromberg moved to Texas to study.^[4] The band split in 1992.

In 2006, Bromberg and guitarist Kaufman reformed the band with new musicians and sporadically played shows until 2011. During this time two more EPs were released.

Since 2023 the band is active again. In 2024 they undertook a tour through Germany.^[3]

The band was known for the straight, humorous and sarcastic lyrics that contentwise dealt with topics like gay and lesbian rights, feminism, antisexism and violence. Singer Bromberg is one of the few gay musicians in the hardcore scene. During their live shows the band makes fun of the macho behaviour within the New York hardcore scene.^[4]
