Get Set Go

Add Date: July 19 

Artist: Get Set Go 

Album: Loose Tongues... 

Label: Square Tire 

Genre: Indie rock, pop 

Comments: From the promoter: "Get Set Go's latest EP is unique; while there are other indie-rock bands that utilize string players, it's unlikely that most bands have arrangements that reference Mahler, Bach, Shostakovich, and Mozart, often in the same song."

From the reviewer: Get Set Go is one of those 3-piece bands that can produce some catchy guitar-driven pop songs with a punk-rock back-beat and self-depreciating lyrics. It's nothing new, but that doesn't mean it's not good. Tracks 2, 1 and 4 are keepers.

Get Set Go isn't a three-piece. They haven't been a three-piece since their first record. I heard their ep when they previewed it on turntable.fm and it had lots of viola, piano, violins (or were they all violas?) and the like. The only song I remember having electric guitars is their song MCA. And for my money, Mary & The Truth, which I think is the last track, is my favorite. I love Get Set Go. They never get enough attention and when they do receive a little, it always seems like people get their facts wrong. The ep is awesome. I can't wait to buy it.
