When the going gets tough the get go -



I don't think I've mentioned it here, but my former band Allister recently called it quits. Sad news for fans of well-played pop-punk but there is a little silver lining. Scott and Kyle from Allister have formed a new band called The Get Go with Chris Messer (ex-Showoff), Dan Hammond (ex-Home Grown), and Nick Gigler (ex-Mest). And no, Nick isn't the guy from Mest that stabbed some guy in LA a month ago. Unsurprisingly, The Get Go (thus far) sounds a lot like the above bands with Messer's distinctive vocals setting them apart.

Their first show is scheduled for June in Detroit, and no plans for an album have been announced. The two belong songs are webrips from the band's myspace page.

I caught Allister by chance performing live on Rocksound.tv and thought they were awesome. Before The Blackout is amazing, I got a copy for a few of my friends and they agreed. Sad that they split up but can't wait for the first album from The Get Go though, just hope they do some UK gigs in the future :)
