They broke up in 1994, and since then, Moriwaka Kaori (singer/songwriter) has become a solo artist, while Saito Mitsuko (drums) and Tanijima Misa (bass guitar) have dropped beneath the radar, though apparently Mitsuko has been seen drumming for a few other bands.

Initially a four-piece band, Go Bang's lost their guitarist early on, becoming popular after she left the band. They had a somewhat unusual sound, being a punk-influenced bubblegum pop band, and lacking a lead guitarist — though this wasn't always the case — on the album Samantha, for example, the Go Bang's worked with the King Gang's, a three-piece all-male band, who complemented their line up with the addition of electric guitars and keyboard.

Making cheerful, bouncy music, with a slight punk edge, the Go Bang's made an impact on the Japanese charts for a short while, but gradually faded into the background, and disappeared almost completely from the public conscious following their breakup. However, some bands, such as the Titan Go-Kings, have referred to them as influences on their music.

やっと彼氏ができたのよ
やったぜベイビー
ずっと片想いだったの
ホントにラッキー
アタックはしていたけれど
いつもあのこが
ガンをとばしてジャマをした
まるでヤンキー!

あのことつきあってた彼が
ずっとフにおちなかったの
だってあのこは二重人格
最高にいやなやつ
やっとあのこと別れたの
私の出番
いつも横はいりができる
スタンバイしてた
そして今夜は待望の
彼と初めてのキス・シーン
しかし目を閉じた瞬間
あのこのことを思い出した...!
間接キッスしちゃったみたい
一番嫌いなあのこと
間接キッスしちゃったみたいなの
なんてこったいあんなやつと
彼のくちびる共有して
間接キッスしちゃったみたいなの

私の前の恋人と
彼も間接キッスしてる
その前の彼女と私も
みんな仲間になってく
間接キッスしているみたい
会ったことないあの人この人
間接キッスしているかもしれない
間接キッスしているみたい
世界中のだれかとだれかが
間接キッスの輪を広げてく
だれも気づかなかった

このおそるべき事実を
間接キッスにとりつかれてる
