THE GETAWAY PLAN TO RETURN FROM YEAR LONG HIATUS
NEW ALBUM RELEASE 2011
ANNOUNCE RECLAMATION TOUR FEBRUARY 2011
WITH TONIGHT ALIVE AND SECRETS IN SCALE

In February 2009, The Getaway Plan shocked Australian fans and media by calling it quits just a year after the release of their smash hit debut album “Other Voices, Other Rooms”. The album that spawned three radio hits and made them one of the most successful young bands in Australia, sent the band on a hectic touring schedule that included three sold out headline tours and ended with their first appearance on the Big Day Out.

But that same schedule caused the young four piece to burn out, eventually deciding to pack it in and move onto other projects. Each member embarked on different paths, pursuing musical endeavors such as The Amity Affliction, Young Heretics, Deez Nuts and Hopeless, while The Getaway Plan continued to garner radio play and sales despite the bands absence.

Reuniting for charity in September 2010, The Getaway Plan played two shows at the 1200 capacity Billboards - selling out both in just 9 hours and proving that the band’s popularity has not slowed down in the 18 months since their demise.

The shows also gave the band the life and energy they were missing 18 months prior. And through practicing and reuniting post-show, the band decided that the time is ripe to give it all another shot. They will return in 2011 as a full time recording and touring band, with a new album expected out late Winter. Their first tour will be the RECLAMATION tour this coming February, with main support from young Sydney five piece TONIGHT ALIVE, fresh from recording their debut album in the United States with Mark Trombino. Opening the shows will be close friends Secrets In Scale from Melbourne, who are preparing to release their debut album “Desert Mouth” early in 2011 – their DMT Mixtape is currently available at the band’s website.

Tickets are on sale December 16, with no extra shows to be added in any city. Fans are warned to purchase tickets early to avoid disappointment.

This year at 2010 ARIA Awards, Boomtown Records has two artists up for nomination. Philadelphia Grand Jury are nominated for the Breakthrough Artist Award, while The Amity Affliction is up for Best Hard Rock Album. Congratulations to both artists.

For full award lists head to http://www.ariaawards.com.au/winners-nominees-2010.php

Before they crashed the ARIA Charts, toured the world and became the unlikely nominees of award shows, The Amity Affliction we’re simply a hard working punk band out of Southern Queensland. With their second album “Youngbloods” on it’s way to be a smash hit, Boomtown Records will be releasing a collection of non-album material recorded at various times throughout The Amity Affliction’s career.

The 16 song album, titled “Glory Days” will include the High Hopes EP (2007), Self Titled EP (2005) and Early Demos (2004). But the major drawcard of the release will be two Machine-Produced out takes from the “Youngbloods” sessions, as well as liner notes written by the band.

The release of “Glory Days” will be on the eve of The Amity Affliction embarking on a world tour of close to 100 dates including extensive dates in the UK, US and Europe and only returning to Australia as the only Australian band on Soundwave in February/March. Youngbloods peaked on the ARIA Charts at #6, and has been nominated for Best Hard Rock Album at both the IMA and ARIA Awards, and is set for release worldwide early 2011. The album’s lead single “Anchors” has been a Triple J favourite since it’s release in July.

“Glory Days” will be released on November 26th via Boomtown Records, and will be available as part of an exclusive $30 T-Shirt and CD package online at fist2face.com.au and in stores at Kill the Music in Brisbane and Fist2Face in Melbourne. For full tour dates as they get announced, keep an eye on theamityaffliction.com

Boomtown Records is set to release the debut album by US metalcore powerhouse, We Came As Romans. Titled “To Plant A Seed”, the album has already sold over 40,000 copies in the USA in a short time. The release will coincide with the band’s maiden Australian trip, as part of the massive No Sleep Till touring festival. They are currently preparing for a month long European tour with Australian heroes Parkway Drive, who are also part of the No Sleep Till lineup.

We Came As Romans are a force to be reckoned with. Having mastered the art of self promotion and self booking early on, the band has since garnered a colossal fan base and kept themselves on the road, only stopping long enough to record. Tireless and tour-hungry, We Came As Romans are pushing the envelope. Working with producer Joey Sturgis (The Devil Wears Prada, Emarosa, Attack Attack!) To Plant A Seed is laden with intricate guitar riffs, both moshtastic and melodic breakdowns, and commanding screaming from vocalist David Stephens tempered with co-vocalist Kyle Pavone’s adept singing voice. Just as important as the musical content, the message behind the music is something the band holds dear.

“To Plant A Seed embodies a really strong message we’ve always held as a band and that’s the simple fact to just love other people and to love in general,” explains Joshua Moore, guitarist and key lyricist of the band. “Hopefully this album will plant a seed, or idea, of love into people’s minds. The whole concept is that hopefully the practice of loving other people will only grow.”

Boomtown Records will release “To Plant A Seed” on November 26th in Australia. Pre-Orders with a T-shirt package will be available via JB Hifi Online, Fist2Face and Kill the Music starting October 12th.

TO PLANT A SEED

Released: 26.11.10
Catalogue: BTR052

Hope Is For Hopers

Released: 18.09.2009
Catalogue: BTR-046

Now the Philly Jays are set to release their newly recorded single ‘Save our Town’. The track will be side A on a limited edition seven inch vinyl release, which will also feature as a B side the newly recorded version of a live crowd favourite – the punk cover version of Jay-Z’s ’99 Problems’.

Currently in the middle of a 35 date UK tour, the band recorded the two tracks as part of a larger recording campaign, which will see tracks released through other projects later in the year, as well as new material that will form the basis of a second album. The tracks were produced in their own studio called Safety Second - which the band set up themselves in Bermondsey (South London) - by lead singer/guitarist Berkfinger (who has also worked on records for Sarah Blasko, Art vs Science, Wolfmother, Temper Trap). They will also appear as one part of a much larger bonus package of tracks on the ‘Hope Is For The Hopeless’ LP - which is a two disc deluxe edition of the band’s debut album ‘Hope Is For Hopers’.

‘Hope Is For Hopers’, released in September 2009, was nominated for the Triple J Album Of The Year Award, peaked in the top 40 and was Triple J feature album. Pretty good for a self-recorded self-released album made for a budget of less than $3,000, throughout relatives’ basements and lounge rooms all over the country and finished it whilst on the road. It spawned underground hit singles ‘Going To The Casino’, ‘The Good News’, ‘Ready To Roll’, and crossover party anthem ‘I Don’t Want To Party (Party)’.

The re-packaged deluxe edition ‘Hope Is For The Hopeless’ sees the ever-prolific Philadelphia Grand Jury giving as good as they get and taking bonus features to the extreme. The original ‘Hope Is For Hopers’ consisted of 12 tracks. ‘Hope Is For The Hopeless’ features the full LP, plus the two never heard before tracks, plus 8 other bonus tracks and B sides from previous seven inch singles. This makes it a 21 track album. And it also includes a special live DVD featuring the band playing in true ‘on the level’ punk style at a Brisbane house party, as well as a fold-out poster.

Philadelphia Grand Jury hit the road for 26 dates of the ‘Save Our Town’ tour starting November 4th for their biggest tour to date. They bring with them young punk upstarts Howl, as well as uber-pleasant indie kids Bearhug, who have just come off supports with Broken Social Scene.

In case you have not seen them play live, Philadelphia Grand Jury are literally explosive on stage. Their only secret is to write great songs and play them like it’s their last show ever. Every. Single. Time.

Don’t miss out!!
