At first listen Getaway Car’s 'All Your Little Pieces' is radio-ready rock that sticks in the middle of your brain for days. Dig a little deeper and you’ll find the ire of Elvis Costello and the sugar-sweet retro melody of Cheap Trick, Squeeze, and the Fab Four worn proudly on their collective sleeve.
The future hit 'thanks-for-screwing-up my-holiday' anthem, 'All Time Low,' began turning heads at radio and record labels in 2004 and anchored itself as the springboard for this classic and complete rock record. Other standouts include the Pretenders-esque 'Kingdom Crumbled' the tender-yet-twisted 'Long Night,' the fist-pumping 'sing-a-long' 'Insomnia' and the tortured waltz 'How Will I Sleep.'
Co-produced and mixed by Jeff Juliano (John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Lifehouse) 'All Your Little Pieces' is a dynamic album fueled by heartbreak, possession, obsession, and an overall lack of sleep…it's the perfect post-breakup companion.
Also recorded in 2004, Getaway Car’s one hundred eighty degree 'NYC EP' conjures up images of the Strokes, Jet, and Death Cab for Cutie. This lo-fi stripped down version of Getaway Car was produced by mad scientist Jamie Lamm- written and recorded over just two days in his New York City recording facility.
Superstar (from the 'NYC EP') was used nationally in a Pontiac Vibe commercial in early 2004 and 'Daylight' (also from the EP) won the band the opening slot at WHFS’ prestigious HFStival at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC.
The band also loves its side work. Members of Getaway Car have been hired as touring musicians with such major label acts as Pat McGee Band, Lucy Woodward, the New York Dolls, and Tonic.
But the real goal for Getaway Car's 'All Your Little Pieces' and the 'NYC EP' is to belong in any true pop-rock fan’s iPod. Singer Todd Wright, bassist Chris Reardon, and guitarist Matt Miceli have crafted an EP and an LP that seem destined to carve (at the very least) their own ‘little piece’ in rock history.

Gunnar and Matthew, whose band NELSON became a staple on MTV had many hits off their multi-platinum selling album, “After the Rain” – including songs “More than Ever” and “After the Rain” which became a celebrated anthem to a lot of the troops during the first Gulf War.
In December 2007, VH1 ranked "Love and Affection" in the "100 Greatest Songs of the '90s" through interactive voting from the viewers of VH1.
Matthew and Gunnar recently reunited their original multiplatinum rock band, NELSON, kicking off summer concert dates in June.
