Before even graduating high school, Getter has spun at sold-out shows in San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, Santa Cruz, and his hometown of San Jose. Like fellow boy-wonder electro producers Sonicc and Porter Robinson, Petulla has impressed many people in the industry and countless electronic music fans with his unquestionable talent at making high quality dubstep music at such a young age.
He gained recognition when he released songs on labels such as Ultragore Recordings and Tuff Love Dubs. In an interview, he said "I basically started when I was 16. I was in a few bands before that; I was a drummer and a guitar player. I was a huge metal head and I loved rap like Mac Dre and Andre Nickatina. You could make electronic music by yourself, so that really attracted me towards it and made me want to do my own thing". He said "As soon as I picked up a guitar I knew I wanted to do music. I have always done art, whether it’s music or drawing, so it all came pretty natural".
Quickly Petulla’s talent was recognized, and his tracks started gaining hype far beyond his high school’s halls. Petukka was signed by Vital Management in August 2010. Since joining Vital, he has opened for the best artists in dubstep today, such as Rusko, Downlink, Eprom, Subvert, Noah D, Nit Grit, Megalodon, and Borgore — not to mention sharing the stage at Vital SC’s Wobbleland with world class talents Skrillex, 12th Planet, and Nero, among many others.
Petulla later signed to Datsik's label Firepower Records in 2012, while also releasing through other labels such as Rottun Recordings and OWSLA. In 2017, Petulla launched his own record label, clothes shop, and artist collective known as Shred Collective. He also produces and performs hip-hop under the name Terror Reid.
He regularly uses heavy bass and “gnarly” synths in his music. Petulla's style of producing/DJing has evolved through the years from massive dubstep tracks to a diverse assortment of genres which culminate to an ethereal, trap-light sound that still contains hard-hitting dubstep roots. Recently, he's been dabbing into more of an experimental style of reverb and bass while assimilating a variety of beats. His debut album Visceral is a testament to this newer style.
In April 2019, Petulla cancelled his Visceral Tour early after getting booed by a large number of fans at several venues who were not in favor of his changed music style, and in a tweet said that the Visceral Tour would be his last tour. There was an outpouring of support for Petulla from the EDM community in reply to his tweets shortly after. A large number of artists have also stated their support towards Petulla on Social Media, including Jauz, Lost Kings, Joyryde, Dave Dresden, Tommie Sunshine, 1788-L, Svdden Death, Kayzo, Ghastly, Rezz, Modestep, Herobust, Louis the Child, Feed Me, Delta Heavy, Zeds Dead, Excision, and Alison Wonderland.
In October 2019, Petulla teased the release of a single "When It's All Gone" on his social media platforms. The track was released on October 16, and was included in a vaguely teased Terror Reid album that was rumored to release in 2020. Petulla also released "Heartless" on October 29 as a single track, and a return to the now enjoyed music style that Petulla used in Visceral.
Petulla was also known on the app called Vine, in which he amassed over 400 thousand followers and had his videos watched over 376,500,000 times. Vine was also the platform Petulla first founded the phrase "Suh Dude" which he and his best friend, Nick Colletti, sell as a part of merchandise for their clothing brand.
Forget It
Getter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You never came around
Never came around
Never came around
You can just forget it now
You never came around
Never came around
Never came around
You never came around
Never came around
Never came around
You can just forget it now
You never came around
Never came around
Never came around
And if you must come my way
I would put your back in place
And if you must come my way
I would put your back in place
When you're broken
Or when you're slowly breaking down
And when you're sorry
I said I'm sorry to, I'm sorry to let you down
You can just move over now
You never came around
Never came around
Never came around
You can just forget it now
You never came around
Never came around
Never came around
The lyrics to Getter's song Forget It seem to be about letting go of someone who never came around or lived up to their promises, and moving forward with the realization that they were never truly worth the time or effort. The repetition of "never came around" emphasizes the disappointment and betrayal felt by the singer, while the lines "And if you must come my way / I would put your back in place" suggest a willingness to forgive if the other person were to make amends. However, the following lines "When you're broken / Or when you're slowly breaking down / And when you're sorry / I said I'm sorry to, I'm sorry to let you down" suggest that the singer is still grappling with their own mistakes and regrets, and is unsure whether they would actually be able to forgive and forget.
The overall mood of the lyrics is somber yet empowering, as the singer seems to be taking control of their own emotions and letting go of any lingering attachment to the other person. The repeated phrases "you can just move over now / you can just forget it now" provide a sense of finality and closure, as if the singer is pushing the other person out of their life for good. The use of second person pronouns also creates a sense of distance and detachment, as if the singer is trying to emotionally detach themselves from the situation.
Overall, the lyrics to Getter's Forget It are a poignant reminder of the pain and frustration that can arise from unfulfilled expectations and broken promises, but also a testament to the resilience and strength that can come from letting go and moving forward.

You can just move over now
Acknowledge my presence and vacate my personal space
You never came around
Your frequent absence from my life is noted
Never came around
Your absence persisted for an extended duration
You can just forget it now
Please release yourself from any potential obligations towards me
And if you must come my way
In the event that you cross paths with me
I would put your back in place
I would physically restore your spinal alignment
When you're broken
When you're emotionally shattered and vulnerable
Or when you're slowly breaking down
During a gradual emotional decline
And when you're sorry
Only then, when you regret your past actions
I said I'm sorry to, I'm sorry to let you down
Expressing the irony in the other person's apology, as I too apologize for my inadequacy in fulfilling their expectations

Never came around
You can just forget it now
You never came around
Never came around
Never came around*

This song perfectly captures addiction to prescription meds. I actually broke down crying while watching it, because it was like looking into a mirror.
When I first met my wife, I would constantly have to sneak off to take pills in order to "feel right". At a certain point, you get such a tolerance to the medication that it's not even about getting high or feeling good. You are taking them to ward off the withdrawals. You are so ashamed of being sick, and ruining the moment. You don't want to be honest and tell people you need help. So you just pop another pill to make everything right. So that you can function normally.
So many moments when my wife and I first started dating, where I was taking the medication without her knowing. Thank god it was never to the point that it led to me blacking out (I wasn't that addicted). But this video kind of captures how quickly this kind of addiction could burn down everything around you. I am lucky in that I ended up getting clean and marrying my wife, and we have been together for 7 years now. She's my best friend, and we are incredibly happy.
But I look back on those early years with so much regret. On the one hand, I remember the intense love we had when we first met. You never forget those first dates. But on the other hand, I get torn apart with shame, just thinking about how I was controlled by pills. And how Every major moment we shared, I wasn't fully "there" in the moment. Apart of me sometimes feels like I was a fraud. Like the memories we shared that she remembers, were not fully true because I wasn't fully in the moment due to medication.
Anyways I hope anyone that reads this: stay away from prescription meds. I was given them legitimately for an injury. And they can ruin your life. Obviously, if you need them and are responsible, absolutely take them (especially if prescribed by a doctor). I more so am talking to people that want to take them for fun.
