Bio

The Getaways roll into town with a catalogue of catchy ditties, a poca-dotted rhythm section combined with chantable melodies. Influenced by the 'Sham' punked 70's, the Joy Divided 80's colliding with todays new wave (not rave!) via BritPop... .. "Go and see The Getaways! Tap your head and bang your feet!" (Drowned in Sound).. .. "...more character than a dickens novel" (Gigbeth Review).... we'd like to think so!!!.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
