The Get Arounds are a Canadian rock band from Vancouver, BC. The band members include Lana Ryma on vocals, Carman Lethbridge on guitar, Paul Albert on bass, and Eric Lowe on drums.
They were formed during the COVID-19 lockdown when Carman and Lana were stuck in their house writing songs and making demos. Lana, a career drummer and venue owner, always wanted to try singing and finally had the time to learn a new instrument. It became immediately obvious she was meant to be the lead singer and she is definitely the sound of The Get Arounds.
Their music style is described as high-energy rock and roll that balances the familiar with the new. Their songs meander from revved-up numbers that seem to be pulled from The Dead Boys Young Loud and Snotty into hits with melodic choruses that call to mind power-pop classics like Nikki and the Corvettes.
They have recently released their new full-length album, “I Wanna Live”, which features 14 songs mostly written by Carman. The album was recorded and mixed by producers Rene D La Muerte and Jason Solyom.
