Welcome back to the Sweaters Club!
We're up to episode 4 of our classic Aussie albums revisited series and today we're going on a deep dive of The Getaway Plan's LEGENDARY debut album Other Voices Other Rooms.
This record was so important for not only The Getaway Plan but the scene in general, getting thousands of new eyes and ears on the alternative scene and paving the way for so many bands to come.
It was a whirlwind 12 months which saw the Getaway Plan go from playing all ages youth centers to iconic Aussie talk show Rove Live which was unheard of for a post hardcore band at the time.
It was all too much too soon however as they disbanded only a year later, citing burn out and the desire to explore new projects.
They eventually reformed later in 2010 releasing 2011s Requiem and 2015's Dark Horses but Other Voices Other Rooms remains the record that cemented their legacy in Aussie music forever.
Joining me for the ride is David De La Hoz from Belle Haven who like myself grew up with The Getaway Plan. We go through the record track by track, discuss how well this record has aged and talk about how much this band has meant to both of us.
Listen in!
