Get Along

Artist Information

Biography

Music isn’t scientific, it’s random. That’s what Get Along believes anyway. With no format to success and no rules, the duo finds itself an unpredictable act. In an era where two-piece bands are flourishing, Get Along uses a blend of raw instruments and digital synthesizers to create a full, inventive sound. Everything is played live on stage; because Cara Summer and Nicholas James believe that they should give their audience all of themselves. No prerecorded loops or playbacks. It’s about that night, at that time. And every show is different because of this.
The band mates are two cottage ridden kids, sporting old souls and vintage gear. They play new music. There are teen jumping electric pop songs, reverb drenched punk anthems, and stripped down acoustic soul ballads. Sometimes, they admit, it doesn’t all add up. The Indie duo by no means is a band looking to jump or create new genres; they just look to be themselves. Their 2012 release ‘We Lit These Torches to See in the Dark EP’ was presented to the world live from radio broadcast on March 24th. It was officially posted for sale on April 7th. The EP shows the dark side of the duo, as they mull over unrealistic careers, a youthful engagement, and their generations impact on the new American culture. The raw, home recorded product, has elements of new wave, punk, electronic, rock n’ roll and folk.
They won’t make you dance. They won’t make you vote for him or her. They won’t make you dress a certain way or say a certain thing. There is no black and white. There are no gimmicks or rehearsed speeches. There are two adolescents exploring their new lives through distorted guitar riffs, bass drum pulsing beats, and the performing arts. Get Along can only hope that you listen to their music, and have a strong opinion of it.

The result is a collection of already quirky songs made all the more so by generous amounts of slapback echo and post-modern primitivism. Songs like "Footprints" completely reinvent themselves midway through, while the closing "What Matters Most" uses the worst preset on a $50 synthesizer to create what Yanez calls the most lo-fi synthesized song he's ever heard.
  
  At this point, Get Along may be one of the most original bands to come out of the Front Range. Of course, the duo will continue to hear White Stripes or Black Keys comparisons, to which I helpfully add Cults and YACHT.

As I interviewed them in The Black Sheep's green room, Nick and Cara were pretty reserved. Apparently they were just saving their energy for the stage and it’s easy to understand why—accordions, multiple wardrobe changes, body paint, raw energy and even a song played in underwear—all such elements would be needed if one were to try to duplicate a Get Along performance."

Both Cara and Nick jumped around with such energy that the audience had no choice but to join them."
