With his seventh single under the Westingway banner, Jon Wheeler delivers something gritty, restless and refreshingly unpolished in I Get That All The Time — a swampy, fuzz-drenched Americana tale that trades introspection for storytelling and comes out stronger for it. Framed as a loose ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ bank-robbery narrative, the track feels less like a history lesson and more like a late-night road movie playing out through overdriven speakers. There’s movement in its bones. From the opening open-tuned riff, the song never quite sits still — propelled by a beat that suggests tyres on tarmac and blue lights flickering in the rear-view mirror.

the influence of bands like The Record Company and The Black Keys is clear in the best possible way: thick, fuzzy guitars; raw edges left intentionally intact; groove over gloss. But this isn’t imitation. Wheeler uses those textures as a springboard, not a template. There’s an organic looseness to the recording — tracked and mixed at Clarksville Studios in Southampton with long-time collaborator Jeff Clark — that gives the song personality. You can hear the room breathe. Notably, this release arrives hot on the heels of Stay On The Line, a piano-led ballad that showcased a more restrained side of Westingway. Here, the gloves are off. The fuzz pedal gets its long-awaited moment. The duo lean into volume, grit and spontaneity. It sounds like musicians enjoying themselves — no rules, no overthinking, just instinct and energy. Backing vocals from Kate Harding add subtle lift and contrast, softening the edges without sanding them down. Her presence brings a conversational dynamic to the narrative, reinforcing the outlaw-duo undertone without overpowering the lead.

What makes I Get That All The Time particularly compelling is its shift in writing approach. Wheeler has often leaned toward emotionally reflective material, but here he embraces character and plot. The result is cinematic without being self-serious, playful without losing credibility. It’s a reminder that Americana thrives on stories — especially ones that feel half-remembered, slightly mythic, and a little bit dangerous. There’s no big-budget sheen here, and that’s precisely the point. Westingway operates in the tradition of DIY artists who build careers the long way round: open mics, tribute bands, side projects, thousands of gigs, and eventually — original songs that feel lived-in. You hear that mileage in this track. It doesn’t try to be perfect. It tries to be real. And it succeeds. I Get That All The Time is a confident, noise-making detour that broadens the Westingway catalogue. It’s swampy, it’s story-driven, and it proves that sometimes the most interesting artistic turns happen when you simply decide to make a bit of noise and see where the road leads.
