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.

暗闇の中いつも
隠れているの ずっと
心配しないで早く出ておいでよ
嫌いだなんて 誰も
もう言わないわ 誰も
私の好きなチェリーハイ
半分ずつに分けてあげてもいいよ
モンスター・ブルー
月夜に微笑むより
モンスター・ブルー
モンスター・ブルー
こっちの方が楽しいよ
鏡がこわいモンスター
泣いてばかりのモンスター
あなたの優しい瞳
人間よりもずっときれいなのに
モンスター・ブルー
モンスター・ブルー
闇夜に嘆くよりも
モンスター・ブルー
モンスター・ブルー
こっちの方が楽しいよ
モンスター・ブルー
モンスター・ブルー
The lyrics of GO-BANG'S song "モンスターブルー" talk about a character who constantly hides in the darkness and is afraid to come out. However, the singer invites this character to come out and not worry, as no one will say they hate them anymore. The singer then offers to split her favourite cherry pie in half to share. The title "モンスターブルー" can be interpreted in different ways. It could be referring to the blue colour often associated with sadness, or it could relate to a "monster" the character sees themselves as in comparison to human beings. Despite this, the singer says it's more enjoyable to be a "monster" than to lament in the night.
The second verse reveals that this character is struggling with self-image and self-esteem issues. The character sees themselves as a "monster" and is consistently crying. The singer, however, remarks that this character's eyes are more beautiful than humans. Again, the singer invites them to embrace their "monster" qualities and have fun in the blue sky. These lyrics convey a message of acceptance, self-love, and the beauty of uniqueness. It encourages the listener to not hide their differences and instead celebrate them.
