About Me



Teen Getawaway play rock and roll music. It's sometimes spiky. Sometimes swirly. Somtimes pretty. Sometimes dirty. They live in Birmingham -- home to pretty girls and ghosts. They smile when they play. Dance too. They're currently mixing an E.P. entitled Nighthawks and writing a shiny new batch of songs.
