Former members of Allister, Mest, Showoff, and Home Grown form the Get Go

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by Chris on Sunday, March 18, 2007 at 11:00 AM (EDT)

A new project comprised of veteran musicians Scott Murphy (Allister), Nick Gigler (Mest), Chris Messer (Showoff), Kyle Lewis (Allister) and Dan Hammond (Home Grown) has recently surfaced. The Get Go was the result of these friends from past touring encounters with their former bands coming together for a new musical endeavor. The band is currently working on material for the upcoming debut on a yet-to-be determined label.

You can find more information at their MySpace page.

Someone (March 18, 2007)

drive-thru's been holding the name for years, waiting for people from their awful bands to fill the slots. This band was on drive-thru before the members' old bands even broke up.

Coldwaffles (March 18, 2007)

Drive Thru records filled the cup.

Someone (March 18, 2007)

What a terrible assortment of "ex members of." Tragic.

sophrrocks711 (March 18, 2007)

Someone (March 19, 2007)

I don't like it, but hardly think it sounds like Good Charlotte.

You were just recently complaining about getting kicked out from ap.net because you didn't get credit on your precious theAUDITION tourdates.

duhpunk (March 19, 2007)

nice try on the background check. im flattered. no, what happened was i said it's about time they gave me credit for sending something in, and the editor called me obnoxious, so i called him an asshole and got banned.

Someone (March 18, 2007)

Someone (March 19, 2007)

As I dont comment often on here... I thought I would say that the voltron comment was funny.. the drive thru comment predictable but fairly funny, and the other ones were beh... This band by the way is not as pop-punk as any of our bands were. But, you can tell that there is pop punk influence on it.
As far as the "maturing" comment goes. When you get older, You tend to "mature" as an artist or musician or as a gay voltron. Either way, Sticking with the exact same sound your entire life would be a bit boring for the people playig it. Is there delay in the new songs.... a little. Is there "effects" in the new songs... yeah, a little. But, These I would consider to be more straight forward rock songs.. Anyway, have fun ripping on us.. But try and match the humor of either of those comments I mentioned earlier. Atleast its semi funny.
