The band is entirely run by the members themselves. They created their own website (graphics, designs and everything else), designed every article of merchandize, promoted their hearts out (the band has been featured on www.emotionalpunk.com, www.absolutepunk.net, www.frequencyreviews.com, received a contract to be on the Drive-Thru Records/ Purevolume unsigned bands compilation and a feature article in the Daytona Beach News-Journal- to name a few), and is now starting to draw in larger crowds in their central Florida venues (House of Blues, The Social, Backbooth) one show at a time. Their live show has been said to be an excellent display of raw emotion, bursting with enthusiasm.
The band recorded a demo in the fall of 2004, which featured six songs; they have been demoing songs ever since and now have well over 25 songs recorded under their belt. Their plays on purevolume have hit
the 85,000 mark – an incredible feat for a band that has not been signed to any record label, nor received any professional promotion of any sort. The band plans to keep the demos coming, recording on
average six a month. They have also begun to record other local acts in their makeshift "bedroom studio" just to stay sharp.
My Getaway's rock machine has just gotten started. They plan to contine the barrage of demos and continue to wreak havoc on the Florida countryside, playing one show at a time.

My Getaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me tell you…
I've got something that you lack. we'll just call it self-respect. oh please tell me just what you were thinking. when the lights went out did you see my face? did you say my name? did you feel the same?
High fives and remember the times, Matthew are you fucking blind? do you see what you have done to me, you have done to me? well I can't remember, whatever's clever, whatever, whatever.
We were just having fun, we were just having fun, we were just having fun, having fun.
We were just having fun that's what you said when you were done. we were just having fun, well was it fun? did you have fun?
I've got something that you lack. we'll just call it self-respect. oh please tell me just what you were thinking. when the lights went out did you see my face? did you say my name? did you feel the same?
The lyrics of "Valeen" by My Getaway express the frustration and disappointment of someone who is treated as just another conquest by a person they were interested in. The first verse describes a sexual encounter where the singer feels used and objectified. The line "call me classy, call me what you'd like" suggests that the person is aware of how they are perceived by the other party, but that they are not happy with it. The line "I'm everything that you're not" can be interpreted as the singer's attempt to convince themselves that they are worth more than just a one-night stand. The reference to "the drinks" implies that alcohol played a part in the decision to sleep together, but the singer does not want to use that as an excuse for what happened.
The chorus repeats the lines "I've got something that you lack. We'll just call it self-respect". This suggests that the singer feels that they are better than the other person because they have boundaries and standards. The questions "when the lights went out did you see my face? did you say my name? did you feel the same?" indicate that the singer is not satisfied with the physical act itself, but wants some kind of emotional connection.
The second verse features a reference to "Matthew", who may be the person the singer had the encounter with. The line "do you see what you have done to me" suggests that the singer feels hurt or damaged by the experience. The repetition of "we were just having fun" may indicate that the other party is trying to minimize what happened and avoid taking responsibility for their actions. The final lines "well was it fun? did you have fun?" are almost accusatory, as if the singer is saying "you got what you wanted, but what about me?"
