NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – February 21, 2019

For fans of Truckfighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, ZZ Top

 

Vancouver’s GETAWAY VAN Premiere Debut Self-Titled Album Stream via Stoned Meadow of Doom

Self Titled Debut Out Feb 23rd

 

New to the Vancouver rock scene, GETAWAY VAN has been manoeuvering through venues to bring their slightly out of control punky blues stoner fuzz rock to entertained audiences for the past year. Collectively, the band shares a broad taste in music and using that to their advantage it’s translated into a record full of different styles and influences that they are gearing up to release on February 23, 2019.

But before the album officially runs loose, the band has teamed up with Youtube channel Stoned Meadow of Doom for the premiere of the album’s full stream.

The band adds:

“Welcome to the world of Getaway Van. This is our debut full-length, self-titled album. This is something that we are all really proud of. Something that all four of us have seen coming for the better part of a year and a half. Now that it’s here, we are stoked to share it with everyone. You’ll be able to pick out basically every sub-genre that’s been derived from rock in this album, with lyrical content that spans from self-loathing and depression, to love, to serial killers, to cars. We really hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it! (And as much as we REALLY enjoy playing it). Thanks for listening.”

Listen to GETAWAY VAN in full at the following link: https://youtu.be/r_Wr6EhFvqg

GETAWAY VAN‘s self-titled debut album follows the band’s two 2018 released EPs, ‘Brokedown’ and ‘Burnouts’. The band showcases a sound that is foot-to-the-floor rock n’ roll sure to shake rooms like a straight piped V8. Bringing roots of stoner rock, blues, punk, and folk, GETAWAY VAN is your very own experience of controlled chaos.

The self-titled album will be available February 23rd through the following links:
Bandcamp
iTunes
Amazon

Show Dates:
Feb 23 – New Westminister, BC – Bully’s Studios (Fallen Fest)
March 2 – Vancouver, BC – The Bourbon

Track Listing:
1. Intro (4:42)
2. Branches (4:56)
3. Comin’ Back (3:54)
4. Follow Me (5:11)
5. Ugh (3:57)
6. Blacktop Mistress (4:35)
7. You Make Everything (4:06)
8. Lord I’ve Been Running (4:26)
9. So Long (6:12)
10. Outro (1:26)

“Continuing in the same vein of Truckfighters-esque stoner rock heard on January’s Burnouts EP, we are treated to a much fuller sound on this release… It’s meatier, it’s harder, it’s heavier. If that sounds a bit pornographic, you’re not far off, because this is a dirty record — full of fuzz and viscera.” – Vancity Rockers

“This dirty little, Alice In Chainsy romp is one that’ll get under your skin, and you’ll find yourself humming in the shower. ‘Follow Me’ is a song from the point of view of a sadistic murderer.  It’s low and slow and it’ll get people moving, and feeling some kinda way, and sooner or later you won’t be able to help yourself…  You’ll follow…”

Vancouver’s GETAWAY VAN Is Rip Roaring & Ready To Go With New Single ‘Lord I’ve Been Running’

Self Titled Debut Out Feb 23rd


New to the Vancouver rock scene, GETAWAY VAN has been maneuvering through venues to bring their slightly out of control punky blues stoner fuzz rock to entertained audiences for the past year. Collectively, the band shares a broad taste in music and using that to their advantage it’s translated into a record full of different styles and influences that they are gearing up to release on February 23, 2019, which features their latest single ‘Lord I’ve Been Running’.

Coming from a personal place, the lyrics to the single were written by Zach Fox and it’s hard hitting with a real classic rock feel.

“This song has a little bit of everything. Some Zeppelin, ZZ Top, RHCP, all wrapped up in a Getaway Van bow.  This heavy, classic rock tune is about life taking everything out of you until you feel like you have nothing left to give.  The narrator is pleading with God/the universe/anyone who will listen, to just give him a break.”

Fans of Stone Temple Pilots, Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters don’t have long to wait for this release:

‘Lord I’ve Been Running’ is available can be heard on Youtube and Spotify.

BIO:

Hey, we’re Getaway Van: Four fellas who are just tryin’ to make you feel like you’re flying down the side of a mountain in a speeding 80s cargo van.

It’s a very teamwork oriented approach and people can expect to not be able to look away from the bouncing and jumping around on stage complete with them occasionally taking their clothes off. Taking the desert rock vibe and making it a little aggressive and little out of control, the audience can definitely expect to have a great time.

In 2018, Getaway Van recorded two EPs, ‘Brokedown’ and ‘Burnouts’ and in February 2019 they are geared to release their debut self titled full length featuring the single ‘Lord I’ve Been Running’. It’s foot-to-the-floor rock n’ roll that shakes rooms like a straight piped V8. Bringing roots of stoner rock, blues, punk, and folk, a Getaway Van performance is your very own experience of controlled chaos.

“Magnetic, untamed, infamous and regaled for their strange and sensational stage shows, White Cowbell Oklahoma is the country-fried boogie rock sandwich you didn’t know you were craving.” – Beatroute AB

“given live performances that seem to feature more people onstage than in the audience, chainsaws, strippers, decimated stuffed things (turkeys, play toys and so on), they do aspire to have their music appreciated to the same extent that their image is co-opted, gawked at and gossiped about.” Exclaim!”

“White Cowbell Oklahoma add a touch of psych to their trashy hard rock formula…hellraising Southern-rock-tinged rock ‘n’ roll.” – Now Toronto

There’s no warm-up for White Cowbell Oklahoma’s sixth full-length release, recorded at Zeus’s Toronto studio and also in concert in Amsterdam. As in their live shows, where flames and power tools feature prominently, the underrated Toronto old-school rockers throw us into the fire immediately, and that fire doesn’t die until long after the final chords – from not one, not two, but three guitars – ring out.” – Now Toronto (2015 Mixto Sixto Review)“a fist-pumping, anthemnic set of songs thick on low-end, pelvic thrust and grit. Easily their most confident effort to date, it displays a new Bell that is streamlined and primed for attack. ” – Exclaim! (2009 Bombardero Review)
