Getting us into the much needed spirit of Spring, Getaway Car is uplifting and fun and will get anyone and everyone up on their feet dancing. With this miserable weather we keep having, the song gives you the ability to escape and transport yourself into a much warmer climate and when the days are sunnier, it is the song you will want to crank up loud and completely let go to.

Ben and Crissie have always had the most beautiful blend of vocals and their voices and lyrics have always been like a warm hug for us. The folk driven country song, is the perfect way to introduce us to their new era within the album Bonfire and I can already predict this album will be a festival anthem.

Bonfire will be released on LP, CD (including signed formats) and digital on July 3. Pre-order HERE.

 Summing up the new album, Ben said: “This is easily the most instinctive album we’ve ever made. Out went overthinking, multiple takes and layers of production. If it was fun, we went with it.”

Crissie commented on the new single: “Getaway Car” is about that one person who can take the wheel when life gets hard to navigate.  It’s a foot stompin’, hand clappin’ festival sing-along song and a fresh new sound of The Shires!”
