Get Out Alive: The Last Type Story is the fourth album from The Speaking Canaries, a Pittsburgh-based indie rock band. [4]
Reviewing the long version, Tiny Mix Tapes wrote that [Damon] Che's "guitar playing [is] the protagonist in this particular tale, employing everything from chaotic six-string torture, to hacking and jittery math-rock, and all the way to pinch harmonics and back again, almost to the point of note-per-minute showoffery." [5] Rolling Stone praised the "napalm riffing and glass-spear harmonics that tell you exactly what Husker Du would have sounded like with Eddie Van Halen and J Mascis on four-handed guitar." [6]
An alternate, longer version (76:02) of Get Out Alive was released by Scat Records on CD-R at the same time as the regular version. [6] Get Out Alive: The Long Version features extended versions of "Last Side of Town", "Last Type" and "Coffin Jitters" and adds the song "Stuffed With Fear".
