Father and sons rock trio The Discarded have released their latest musical project ‘The Getgoes’ – an animated musical film and soundtrack about the fictional band The Getgoes.
The film is already gathering praise from the festival circuit worldwide, and features 13 original songs and 8 vignettes performed by The Discarded.
The project has been described as reminiscent of retro Saturday morning cartoons and The Beatles’ ‘Yellow Submarine.’
This soundtrack is actually the fifth release for The Discarded, who are composed of veteran rocker JP (Joel) Wasson (Vocals/Guitar), and his sons Caden Jax Wasson (drums), and Jared Dean Wasson (bass).
Since their formation in 2016, The Discarded have entertained fans across southern Ontario by playing nearly 100 live shows, including opening for The Sonics at Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall and Teenage Head at Hamilton’s This Ain’t Hollywood.
The Discarded’s sound builds off J.P’s formidable years drumming and singing for Toronto bands such as Fifth Column and Snowdogs throughout the ‘90s.
You can take a listen to the new project here.
