Good Throb was a feminist punk band from London that was active between 2010 and 2016. They consisted of KY Ellie (Ellie Roberts) on vocals, BB Thing (Bryony Beynon) on guitar, Ash Tray (Ashleigh Holland) on bass and L-Hard (Louis Harding) on drums. The band formed after having all met through the London punk scene.[1]

They started with the intention of everyone taking part doing something new to them, whether that was playing an instrument or being the vocalist.[1][2] Beynon and Harding had previously played together in a band called The Sceptres where Beynon was vocalist and Harding was on bass. Holland later sang in the band Frau.[3]

They released three 7" EPs and one full-length LP. Music journalist Jenn Pelly described them as "raw, primal, ferocious, pissed, crude" and "a manic London post-punk band that hinges between razorsharp cleverness and total disintegration".[4]
