Toronto’s The Get Alongs are back with “Come On”, a loud, jangly, good-time guitar track that sounds like it was built for packed rooms, sticky floors, and late nights that run longer than planned. The band has that Toronto grit all over this one, mixing indie rock, garage rock, power pop, 90s alt-rock, and bright jangle into a song that moves fast, hits hard, and stays in your head after one listen. “Come On” is the first advance single from the band’s upcoming sophomore album, Second To None, arriving June 19, 2026, via Having Fun / We Are Busy Bodies. The track runs 4:07 and has no explicit lyrics, but it still brings plenty of bite. Harrison Pickernell, Rory Pickernell, Eric Wood, and Tristan Catenacci sound tight without sounding too polished, which is a big part of the charm here. The guitars ring out with a messy sparkle, the drums keep things pushing forward, and the bass gives the song a sturdy backbone without crowding the mix.
The band’s touchpoints are easy to hear, with shades of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, early Oasis, The Stone Roses, The Lemon Twigs, Uni Boys, and Dinosaur Jr., but “Come On” never plays like a copy of anything. It has its own scrappy personality. It sounds confident, a little dusty, and very alive. There’s also a wild release idea tied to the track: a limited-edition lollipop version that uses bone conduction, letting listeners hear the song by sucking on the candy as vibrations travel through the teeth and jawbone. That is such a weird and fun detail, and it fits the band’s loose, playful attitude perfectly.
I like this song because it has real band energy, the kind that makes you picture amps buzzing before the first chord even lands. I’d put it straight into a playlist for anyone who wants guitar music with hooks, grit, and a bit of attitude. Make sure to follow The Get Alongs, keep an eye on Second To None, and add “Come On”, to your playlist because this is one of those tracks that can lift a slow day, make a walk feel better, give a drive more kick, and remind you how fun guitar music can be when a band sounds this locked in, this loud, and this sure of itself.
Listening to songs so you don’t have to! Just kidding :D, you totally should. Music blogger by day, nurse by night
