Almost four years since the release of their debut album Other Voices, Other Rooms, Melbourne four-piece The Getaway Plan are set to release Requiem – the first album since the band announced that their hiatus had ended in November 2010.
From the time The Getaway Plan released their debut EP in 2006, to their Big Day Out performance in 2009, the then barely post-teen band became one of the most talked about upcoming rock bands in the nation. However, the rapid pace of this success took its toll on the young band and they soon went their separate ways for a period to focus on other musical endeavours (The Amity Affliction, Young Heretics, Deez Nuts).
Last year though Matthew Wright (Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards), Clint Owen Ellis (Guitar), Dave Anderson (Bass) and Aaron Barnett announced live on triple j their intention to reform and record a new album.
Now the moment has arrived – Requiem will be released this coming Friday and tour dates are going to be here before you know it! Tickets are on sale now.
