If youÔÇÖre looking for a cross between everything you once found on MySpace and the Camp Rock soundtrack, then Australian ÔÇÿalt-rockersÔÇÖ The Getaway Plan are your guys. Self-produced EP ‘Lovesick’ goes from almost catchy to downright depressing as it burns through its four painfully samey tracks.
Whilst the riffs in title track ÔÇÿLovesickÔÇÖ could be the making of something more, TGPÔÇÖs whiney teen-angst lyrics (ÔÇÿI cannot forgive the things you put me through aloneÔÇÖ from ÔÇÿFlying ColoursÔÇÖ is not even the worstÔǪ) are far too reminiscent of my 13 year-old self to inspire any further thoughts. By the time the EP has reached its final song, differentiating between each track becomes a task greater than convincing your grandma that Miley Cyrus is a good role-model. In a nutshell, thereÔÇÖs ringtones on the Nokia 3310 better than this collection of tunes.
