Press Reviews of Get Away Volume:
“The songs on Get Away Volume are all roughly three minutes of over-confident wailing to a fast and furious beat…Catchy and memorable…Unrelenting drums, experimental bass work, and (vocalist Neal) Page’s often blood-curdling caterwauling make for a lot of body-shaking fun. Now, if we could only get them on the charts.” –PopMatters.com
“Simply stated, we’ve got three confident, energetic, adept musicians from Baltimore who’ve built on a great form and improved it by supplying a breath of fresh air to classic punk rock, delivering like few bands can. It’s loud, it’s solid, it’s got a message of goodwill beneath all that shouting, bass, drums, and guitar, and it can wallop the heck out of any bum-out by sheer merit of its catchiness.” –Listen To This! (Shore Publishing Newspapers)
"Each song (is) danceable and wholly entertaining with rock solid guitar work and catchy bass lines. Although released two years ago, this album could hold sway among many of today's releases with its homage to many bands popping up throughout the late '90s...The Mishaps are a solid band, that one would never figure to be just a three-piece with the quality of sound that the band seems to produce on Get Away Volume. This is pretty stellar work for a debut album." -Hussieskunk
“A lot of imagination and greatness comes out from this album. They are hungry to be known and play like there’s no tomorrow. A great punk DIY attitude with a Reverend Horton Heat spirit!” –Caustic Truths
“Hardcore havoc rock ‘n roll that throws with the best of ‘em, a downtown sound that never tries too hard…quick, honest songs to knock ya down. Turn it up loud and enjoy.” –New York Waste
“Bashing pop/punk…the rhythm section has a neat feel with some almost-jazzy beats (played at 100 mph). –The Big Takeover
“This six-track EP sounds just like mid-80’s small town US punk rock…The whole thing is a damn excellent traditional American Punk sound that’s untarnished by current popular trends.” –Artcore Fanzine
“Catchy sound...The Mishaps are a band with a lot of potential.” –Law of Inertia
“The Mishaps have a unique sound that's sure to be a hit!” –OveratedMag.com
