"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

my Autism sweet angel

I found you fighting all alone

Tryna fake the world away

The widest smile to ever hold you

Was no more real than all your dreams, when they sing


"I was made for something more than this

The world don't get me like you get me

Tell me you believe the way I do"

But I don't know, what to say to you


When I lose my head

Don't hear the words that come your way

Cause I never mean them

You never said

You care that much for what I think

So let me break it down for you


I believed you’d be the one

I’ve lost some faith along the way

A tender night, just us, alone

Always fades before your dreams, when you say


Is your 'Something More' without me?

Is your 'Something More' a lie?

Is your 'Something More' than this'

Another myth to move my mind

Is there something in not knowing?

Give me something I can say

Just to hold you in this moment

While I blow the mist away

Baring everything I'm feeling

Holding hurt without disguise 

I can't feel another smile

Start to shake from either side

Darling call me if you make it

So I'll know you finally tried 

Oh I'd love to see your face lit

By some fire in your eyes

Devil's Daughter

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.
