My Getaway is fast-tracking out of Central Florida and is comprised of five best friends. The band consists of singer John Russo, bassist Wade Graham, drummer Alex Dumas and guitarists Josh Cobb and John Brian. All members went to the same high school and became friends over the course of their high school careers. With all five having similar musical goals and interests they started a band and began practicing relentlessly.
My Getaway has been featured in Alternative Press Magazine where they were voted as the number one unsigned band 2007. They have been spotlighted as a Purepick on Purevolume.com, selected to play Van’s Warped Tour 06’ on the Ernie Ball Stage, won the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands online voting contest for 2006, recorded a Billboard Charts “Underground” session, picked to be the BMI artist of the month for October 2007 and as an unsigned band are sponsored by Red Bull Energy Drinks. The bands fan-base is rapidly growing at both home and abroad.
Now out of high school, the band recorded and self produced their own EP, “Everybody’s Got Their Problems”, from their home studio. Sending the seven songs out to be professionally mixed and mastered and then to be pressed and ready for a self released product without the aid of a record label. Their myspace plays have passed the 1,000,000 mark – an incredible feat for a band without any professional promotion. My Getaway recently recorded brand new material in Chicago with producer, Marc McClusky (Powerspace, Hit the Lights, Ludo). The band then had their final product mixed by Jeff Juliano (Dave Matthews, Jason Mraz, John Mayer). With their live show, “being an excellent display of raw emotion, bursting with enthusiasm”, the boys are excited about the future and their potential.

oh my weekend is amazing :]] i am at the beach and it is pretty kick ass not gonna lie. you know what i hate? when a million bands add me after commenting you guys haha <3
aww, i was hoping for warped but i'll be in the orlando area so hopefully i can catch a show this summer. i've been pretty chill lately. I'm graduating in a week, so that's exciting. Anywho, I love love love Heart Attack and Saturday Night Fever. I'm sure they've been posted for a bit so I'm sorry for being a crappy fan and not having heard them sooner. Well good luck with the writing and hope to see you guys plan soon.
Two questions though: Do you guys ever post over on LJ anymore. Your entries were pretty awesome. Also in Saturday Night Fever is it "come on, kid play it cool" or "come on keep playing cool" ? It's bugging me not knowing
It's cool. I actually stay up way late so it would've been alright. I'm doing well. Me and the Peachcake just played DeepRockDrive in Vegas last night. How were your California shows?
thank you for reminding me. y'all must have remembered that can never remember dates and stuff. that's awesome that y'all are playing FMF.. i always have fun there :). 3 days for 25 bucks.. and blue man group! so next sat at 7?
Yeah, come back to CA and I promise I won't miss the show this time! haha I'm actually heading out to FL soon so maybe I'll just see you there!!! Aside from being deathly ill, I'm doing pretty good. I hope all is well for you guys!
