"Getaway Car" epitomizes indie at its best. With gnarling vocals and jangle guitar melodies reminiscent of The La's, Bombay Bicycle Club's catchiness, and the poetic charm of The Smiths, it's a sonic thrill. This anthem of escape and adventure, echoing the spirit of Oasis and the storytelling of Bruce Springsteen, takes an unexpected turn with a reggae twist. Produced by Michael Smith, known for his work with Elvis Costello and Wolf Alice, "Getaway Car" is your ticket to a musical adventure.

Getaway Car

I don't wanna die
I have waited all of my life
Just to feel what I feel
Right here with you tonight

Cruel hands of time
They shade my eyes
Like rainclouds that storm all the time
Can you show me something real
I'll leave it all behind

Can we stay out till the sunrise
I would love to forget all the sadness in this life
If we stay out in the moonlight
Maybe we can forget all the madness in this life

If we stay out in the sunlight
I know we can forget all the sadness in this life
As we dance out in the starlight
Finally we'll forget all the madness in this life

I Don't Wanna Die

Blackout the Arcade signifies the uprising of a new revelation within the Indie and Alternative music scene in the North-East of England; introducing a fusion of “no-nonsense” reverberant rock with psychedelic undertones, in a style not too dissimilar from the likes of The Killers and Catfish and the Bottlemen.  

In anticipation of their run of 5 new single releases, Blackout the Arcade “Darlington’s hottest new indie outfit” hope to match the success of their previous "catchy indie bangers” that are “laden with towering guitar hooks and a driving vocal performance, giving you a thrilling treat to wrap your ears around” as well as nostalgic live performances at independent venues in the North-East such as THINK TANK?, The Georgian Theatre and KU Bar  

The North-East is starting to get a reputation for “producing some amazing guitar-based acts, with Blackout the Arcade is the latest alumni to join the roster”. Radiating an infectious and ignitable energy which is impossible to disregard, the group now have their ambitions aimed on smashing through the formidable barricades of 2024.
