Banquet Darling – “The Getaway”

Banquet Darling shares a new single titled “The Getaway”, and it lands with a bold, upbeat energy. The Newcastle-based project led by Todd Kilby delivers a jagged disco pop track that feels made for anyone who has ever wanted to step away from the noise for a while.

The groove kicks in quickly with sharp guitar stabs and a chorus that lifts the mood almost instantly. It has that kind of hook that stays in your head after one listen. The song explores the need to escape, whether that’s from a place, certain people, or even your own thoughts. That idea feels honest and easy to relate to, because most of us have had days where everything feels like too much, and there’s a sense of daily struggle woven into the track, yet it never sounds defeated. The energy pushes forward with fun and a clear sense of adventure. It makes you want to clear some space in your living room and move around without overthinking it.

Todd Kilby’s background performing around the world with the circus adds context to the project. That kind of experience hints at a creative mind that thrives on movement and unpredictability, and that spirit shows up in the song’s lively character.

With a colourful, tongue-in-cheek video on the way, “The Getaway” sets a strong tone for the year ahead. Follow Banquet Darling on social media to keep up with what’s next.
