Getaway Blues Today Tomorrow by Roy And The Devil's Motorcycle – A Raw, Gritty Ride Through Rock 'n Roll Chaos
Let’s cut the crap. This ain’t your polished, overproduced stadium rock nonsense. Getaway Blues Today Tomorrow, the latest release from Switzerland’s own Roy And The Devil’s Motorcycle, is a raw punch to the gut that screams authenticity. Released under A Tree In A Field Records (what a name, right?), this album doesn’t try to be anything it’s not. It’s dirty, unapologetic, and dripping with attitude—just how rock should be.
First up, “Getaway Blues.” Holy hell, this track grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. From the opening riff, it feels like someone lit a fuse, and you’re strapped to the bomb. The guitar work? Frenetic but controlled, like a drunk guy who somehow knows exactly what he’s doing. And Roy’s vocals? Raspy, pissed-off, and full of soul—like he’s got something to prove but won’t tell you what. You remember this one because it’s relentless. No soft intro, no build-up—just straight fire from start to finish. If you don’t feel like lighting a cigarette and flipping off the world while listening, check your pulse.
Then there’s “Today Tomorrow / Getaway Blues,” which flips between chaos and eerie calm like a bipolar poet on caffeine. The dual personality of this track keeps you guessing. One minute, it’s all pounding drums and screeching guitars; the next, it’s almost meditative, like staring at an empty highway at 3 AM. That contrast sticks with you. It’s messy in the best way possible—like life itself. When the chorus kicks back in, you realize this band isn’t just making noise; they’re telling stories, even if those stories are soaked in gasoline and bad decisions.
Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: this album ain’t for everyone. If you want your hand-holding pop-rock or whatever passes as music these days, keep walking. But if you crave something real—something that sounds like it was recorded in a garage after too many beers—this is your jam. These Swiss rebels bring the heat without giving a damn about trends or expectations.
And here’s the kicker: after blasting through these tracks, you’ll find yourself wondering why more bands don’t take risks like this anymore. Maybe it’s because they’re scared. Or maybe it’s because they haven’t met Roy yet. Either way, crank this sucker loud, roll down your windows, and pretend you’ve got somewhere better to be—even if you don’t.
Oh, and one last thing: whoever said Switzerland was all watches and chocolate clearly never heard Roy And The Devil’s Motorcycle.Peace out.
