Editor's note

Backseat Goodbye's straightforward, melodic rock

An Austin band that kept making songs through lineup shifts and a cancer diagnosis.

For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Summer Drive Song' or 'Bottom Lips And Fingertips', they're both pretty direct and melodic.

They've put out four albums since 2007, with songs like 'Summer Drive Song' and 'Play Three Again' that stick to simple, catchy melodies. Their 2012 album 'Imaginary Lines' came after Brandon Canfield's thyroid cancer treatment, and they've kept going with emo-tinged tracks like 'Bottom Lips And Fingertips'.

Backseat Goodbye started in Austin around 2005, releasing albums like 'When We Were Kings' and 'Sides'. After a 2010 cancer diagnosis and a brief legal dispute, they continued with a shifting lineup, leaning into pop-punk textures on later songs.

Archive material and source history

Backseat Goodbye started in Austin, Texas around 2005, with Brandon Canfield on vocals and guitar. They put out four albums between 2007 and 2015, including 'When We Were Kings' and 'Sides.' Songs like 'Play Three Again' and 'Summer Drive Song' show their knack for straightforward, melodic rock.

In 2010, Canfield was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, which led to some canceled tour dates. He returned after treatment, and the band released 'Imaginary Lines' in 2012. A few years later, there was a brief legal dispute with a former member over songwriting claims, but it didn't stick.

The group's lineup has shifted over time, with Matthew Vaughn on bass and Matthew Bowen on drums in recent years. They've kept a steady output of songs that lean into emo and pop-punk textures without getting too complicated, like 'Bottom Lips And Fingertips' and 'Dreaming at the Top of Your Lungs.'
