The Get Alongs - Second To None (New Vinyl)
Toronto’s The Get Alongs return with “Come On,” the first advance single from their upcoming sophomore LP, Second To None, due June 19, 2026, via Having Fun / We Are Busy Bodies. It’s jangly, road-worn guitar rock with a buzz on, pulling from the loose swagger of The Brian Jonestown Massacre and the melodic punch of early Oasis, but grounded firmly in their hometown. The kind of track that feels right at home spilling out onto Queen West after last call, guitars ringing out over the hum of streetcars and whatever’s left of the night.
The first single, “Come On,” is being released as a limited-edition lollipop that can only be heard while sucking on it. Through bone conduction, the experience is even stranger—in the best way. The song plays directly inside a user's head using vibration technology. It works by transmitting audio vibrations through the teeth and jawbone to the inner ear, bypassing the eardrum entirely. That means that the song travels straight through your jaw and into your skull, bypassing the usual distance between listener and sound.
Formed in 2017, the four-piece, Harrison Pickernell (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rory Pickernell (lead guitar), Eric Wood (bass), and Tristan Catenacci (drums), have spent the better part of a decade refining a sound that pulls from 60s garage, 70s power pop, and 90s psych without getting stuck in any one lane. Early releases leaned scrappy and instinctive, equal parts surf shimmer and blown-out indie rock. With Second To None, that same DNA is still there, just sharpened. The edges are cleaner, but the intent hits harder, the hooks land heavier, and the band knows exactly when to let things breathe and when to push it just past the point of comfort.
