We recorded the single with Dan Swift (Ash, Snow Patrol, Biffy Clyro) in September 2008 and it was mastered by Alex Wharton (Coldplay, Hard-Fi, Babyshambles) at Abbey Road a few weeks later. We narrowly missed a chart position following its release on 12 January 2009, but you can still get it online if you don't have it yet!
Spiky guitar pop with passionate melodies: a high quality mix of early Manics, REM,
Feeder and Teenage Fanclub.
Since making their live debut in January 2007 at a sold-out Metro club in London, Run Don't Walk have gigged the London club circuit regularly, recorded two EPs, performed live acoustic sessions on local radio, cut their first video, played their first European gig in Berlin
and supported Inspiral Carpets' frontman Tom Hingley - and all that in their first
year together!
The band gigged constantly throughout 2008 and also found time to write new songs. In Autumn they recorded their debut single with producer Dan Swift and mastered it at Abbey Road. The single was released on 12 January 2009 and a launch gig was played that night at The Fly in London. The band had built up sufficient momentum by this point that even a change of drummer in spring 2009 did not stop them from completing the live shows and radio appearances booked for the promotion of the single. Whilst taking a break over summer to introduce some synths and new sounds to the mix, more changes were forced upon the band due to real-life commitments and the band switched their attention on finding a new bassist. And of course, no sooner was a new bass player found, than the drummer decided to leave! But all is not lost for we shall be unveiling the new line-up very, very soon and, let's face it, 2010 must be better for us than the last six months of 2009! It's upwards from here on in!
