Getaway

On Getaway, Adelitas Way bash out lean, ’90s-style alt-rock laced with nasty attitude. Rick DeJesus has always worn his decadence proudly on his sleeve, but on the desperation-soaked scorchers “Bad Reputation” and “Getaway” the screamer sounds like a weary veteran who fears the walls are closing in around him. Meanwhile, Robert Zakaryan is a true guitar hero throughout; the way he skillfully layers acoustic, slide, and slashing riffage on the stomping “Put You in Place” is proof of just how vital he is to the band’s attack.
