Sounds like: Rock
Getaway Van are looking to make their mark on the Rock music scene with their new full length. Let's take a listen and see what they bring to the table. "Intro" opens up the album with an awesome near five minute instrumental. It's incredible and really shows off what the band has to offer right away. "Branches" comes in with a flurry of instrumentation before the high octane vocals kick in. There's a Flybanger sound to the track as it glides along with a nice confident pace. "Comin' Back" has riffs for days. You'll be hooked almost immediately by the sheer force this track has. It's upbeat and it simply rocks. "Follow Me" is a five minute long journey through the Rock forest with the band on their terms. The melody, riffs and vocals on the track show a ton of depth. "Ugh" will get you singing along in no time with its Grunge vibe. It's a slower but more methodical track to jam out to. "Blacktop Mistress" gets the energy back up to a frantic pace. There's a touch of Motorhead in it. The track features a guitar solo that is just off the hook. "You Make Everything" is dirty Rock at its finest. It's got that twang to it that it'll get stuck in your head for days. "Lord I've Been Running" kicks off with a gnarly Southern Rock style riff before a wall of sound kicks in to accompany it.The melodic vocals come in and it's immediately apparent that the track is ultra catchy. Once the infectious verse kicks on, you're hooked. The head bobbin' appeal is off the charts with the track. Rock radio should be begging to get this track on the airwaves as it's better than most mainstream Rock acts that are being played. The guitar solo is out of this world and offers up something different in that department. "So Long" has that Grunge sound back in it. The track soars with melody and crunch that will have people rockin' along in no time. "Outro" ends the album out with a nice soothing instrumentation that seems to be a continuation of the intro.
Verdict:
Getaway Van have a beast of a Rock album here that everyone should check out.
