Bughummer - The Getaway With

The South. When you think of it, its not widely recognized for its underground indie rock scene, but in the city of Savannah, Georgia, three young chaps (Jonathan Proctor, Keely Davis, and Brian Lackey) set out to change that Southern world with their own brand of rock and pop--and for it's own good--with their dearly-departed band, Bughummer. And now the rest of the world gets to meet the mayhem. The Get Away With, re-released by the considerate folks at Lovitt Records, is the last and only recorded material available by the band (originally recorded in 1998) and dishes out some serious indie rock nuggets. While the music is not so much ground-breaking, it is crawling with defiant energy and stylings. With the rough-and-raw quality of the seven track release, it makes for an awesome memento for any music buff. Whereas, it may be a horse of a different color for fans of Davis’ new band, Engine Down, Bughummer is to be appreciated all the more for it’s sharp knee-to-the-crotch attitude. [www.lovitt.com]
