Getaway Driver - "Sparking
Pistol" EP
Self-released
Yet another sadly unknown Lawrence band, Getaway Driver is a poppy act
in the indie vein. A four piece outfit mixing harmonic vocals and
infectious pop hooks with a rock sound, the band brings to mind such
bands as TV Fifty.
The Sparking Pistol EP starts
out with "Something to Do," infectious
rock music that brings to mind every lost love the listener can think
of. From there, the album moves into pop-punk "Eyeswornout." After
that, the album becomes a quieter, more contemplative affair, but the
song set up works well, ending as it does on the hopeful "Next Week;
Maybe."
Getaway Driver has produced an album that teems with
steering-wheel-tapping tunes and seems custom-written for road trips.
The songs are all well written, and the band has hooks to spare in the
music. Singing along to the songs on the Sparkling Pistol EP is
almost a requirement with this record. To get yourself a copy, and find
