The Get, folk rock for the rest of us.

I don't normally like folk rock. Something about the music, just isn't intricate for me. But, there is one album I've been following:

"The Get" is a folk rock in the Western Suburbs of Chicago. It features Laura Lopardo, on vocals, James Berthiaume on vocals and guitar, and Paul DeNovi on Bass. They've released an album, "Escape the Scorn", in October of 2008.

Again, I don't normally like folksy type music. But the title song "Escape the Scorn" is probably one of my favorite songs of this year thus far. Something about the underlying depression inherent in the lyrics, that really resonates with me. It speaks of the futility of living. The harmonies are superb, which include one Liz Lopardo singing with her sister.

Take a listen at the website, and let me know what you think.
