Getawaycab

Hello, world. We are an indierock band hailing from the cold expanses of Western Finland. Three of us played together for the first time in 1999. We came up with the name in 2002. Released our first EP in 2004. 4th member joined in 2006 and second EP was released. We toured all around Finland. First single released in 2008. Toured around Europe. Fifth member joined in 2010. Toured around UK. A new track “Worn Out Jeans” released by Edils Records (Liverpool, UK) in 2011. At the moment we are in the middle of recording our debut album.

“The compilation draws to a close with the meanderingly beautiful ‘Worn Out Jeans’ by Getawaycab (Pohjanmaa, Finland). With its elegiac and haunting melodies, it is certainly the most sublime song I’ve ever heard written for an old piece of clothing.” -Musical Mathematics Blog (Leeds, UK)

“I cannot describe how much I love this masterpiece of a song. It makes me fly, float into my dreams. That’s just marvelous.” -IndieFESTO! (Naples, ITA)

“There was no band on the sampler that was below any of the others, and I applaud EDiLS Recordings for getting together such a wide array of excellent music.” -Muzik Dizcovery (USA)

“they play a nice mixture of early 90′s emo (Mineral), catchy indiepop (Last Days of April), dynamic post-hardcore (Thursday) and floating post-rock (The Appleseed Cast). But it’s really hard to put this music under a specific title since for example the energetic and catchy So Long, and a swinging and hypnotic Letters represents totally different styles. Maybe we just need to admit that these guys can do anything.” -Tristesse Blog (Tampere, FIN)
