My Getaway is fast-tracking out of Central Florida and is comprised of five best friends. The band consists of singer John Russo, bassist Wade Graham, drummer Alex Dumas and guitarists Josh Cobb and John Brian. All members went to the same high school and became friends over the course of their high school careers. With all five having similar musical goals and interests they started a band and began practicing relentlessly.
My Getaway has been featured in Alternative Press Magazine where they were voted as the number one unsigned band 2007. They have been spotlighted as a Purepick on Purevolume.com, selected to play Van’s Warped Tour 06’ on the Ernie Ball Stage, won the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands online voting contest for 2006, recorded a Billboard Charts “Underground” session, picked to be the BMI artist of the month for October 2007 and as an unsigned band are sponsored by Red Bull Energy Drinks. The bands fan-base is rapidly growing at both home and abroad.
Now out of high school, the band recorded and self produced their own EP, “Everybody’s Got Their Problems”, from their home studio. Sending the seven songs out to be professionally mixed and mastered and then to be pressed and ready for a self released product without the aid of a record label. Their myspace plays have passed the 1,000,000 mark – an incredible feat for a band without any professional promotion. My Getaway recently recorded brand new material in Chicago with producer, Marc McClusky (Powerspace, Hit the Lights, Ludo). The band then had their final product mixed by Jeff Juliano (Dave Matthews, Jason Mraz, John Mayer). With their live show, “being an excellent display of raw emotion, bursting with enthusiasm”, the boys are excited about the future and their potential.
