(review) The Getaway – Left For Dead (People Of Punk Rock Records)

In 2005 Canadian punks The Getaway flew to Los Angeles to record an album for Kung Fu Records. For some reason this album was not released until now, when People Of Punk Rock Records treated us with this time travel jewel in form of this little punk rock record. These 10 songs offer us pure and no holds barred melodic punk rock from Toronto. While listening to this band, they remind me a lot of Face To Face, being harsh riffs but at the same time melodic. Vocals are great, a bit snotty but fit perfectly to the songwriting craft. Backing vocal harmonies and melodies are perfect, just here to make you smile and believe in punk rock and expressing your emotions with music that you love and believe in. Songs like I Hope You Feel The Same, Rescue Me, Left For Dead are my personal favorites, you will just have to discover yours. So, if you love your punk rock melodic, energetic and having heart and soul, this record is the right one for you. It is also a document of an era in our scene that is passed fifteen years ago, but fortunately we can relive it through nice music.
