Five distinct personalities joining forces to make one mighty sound that's Runner Runner. The SoCal bands self-titled debut album released through a new partnership with Capitol Records, C.E. Music (a new label formed by David Lettermans Worldwide Pants Inc.) and legendary industry veteran Jack Pontis MRV label combines skillful songwriting and musicianship, punk-infused intensity and humungous pop hooks. Comprised of front man Ryan Ogren, guitarists Nick Bailey and Peter Munters, bassist Jon Berry and drummer James Ulrich - Runner Runner was formed in the punk and surfing Mecca of Huntington Beach, California two years ago, after honing their respective chops to a serrated edge in Virginia skate-punk outfit Over It, New Jersey pop-punk unit Don't Look Down and it's SoCal counterpart Rufio (Berry). Produced by Dave Darling (Stray Cats, Brian Setzer, Soulive), Runner Runner is a band that cuts through the crap and delivers the goods, directly, powerfully and exhilaratingly. If that reads like hype, stop reading right now and take a listen to the wicked-clever first single "So Obvious," the aerodynamic anthem of the uplifting "Unstoppable" and "Paper Cuts." And that's just the tip of the iceberg on this 12-song, all-killer, no-filler long player.
