The Get Alongs, a Toronto rock band, open their record Second To None with “Come On” in a way that locks you in right away. The track opens with sharp guitar work, steady drums, and a vocal delivery that keeps everything direct without overdoing it. It sets a clear tone for the record’s mix of garage-rock bite, power-pop shine, and hints of psychedelic color that the band has been shaping since their early days. There is a tightness here that comes from years of playing together, and it comes across in how the instruments lock into each other without feeling rigid. The song also reflects the band’s move from their early, loose surf-punk approach toward more detailed studio work. You can hear careful attention given to tone and balance, with each guitar line sitting clean in the mix while still keeping that rough edge in place. The rhythm section maintains a steady push that gives the track forward motion without rushing. Even with its polish, the performance still has a live spark that makes it easy to imagine the band playing it in a packed room.
There is a strong sense of influence woven in, with touches of 90s psychedelic revival energy and Britpop-style punch, but nothing feels copied or forced. The hooks land in a natural way, and the vocal lines stay memorable without trying too hard to stand out. It works as an opening statement for Second To None, setting up the rest of the record with confidence and focus while still leaving space for the band’s personality to come through in small details. I like how the track sets a strong pace without losing its character, and it has a replay value that keeps pulling me back. It is one of those openers that makes you want to hear what comes next right away, and it holds up well on repeat listens.
Listener or not, this is the kind of song that deserves a spot in your rotation, and I honestly think “Come On” should be in everyone’s playlist since it blends tight playing, solid hooks, and a raw edge that keeps it engaging every time it plays.
Listening to songs so you don’t have to! Just kidding :D, you totally should. Music blogger by day, nurse by night
