“T.O.R.N.A.D.O” looks like a cheer and there’s definitely a marching band thing going on here (and Ninja moves into rapid-speed), but ultimately the Go! Team do something darker, less all-over-the-map flamboyant for our first taste of the forthcoming Rolling Blackouts.The Go! Team – “T.O.R.N.A.D....
