"This band has been kicking around for years now, touring and putting out records. They work hard but they tend to get overlooked, which is mega unfortunate. Hopefully, this record will change that. All of the songs are distinct, incorporating different textures, while still falling within the boundaries of hardcore. Those boundaries are tested, but not, ummm, Fucked Up. The musicianship is top notch. If you want to hear an example of a modern hardcore band that knows what to do with a guitar, you’ll find it on this slab of wax. Quick, bright, and brilliant solos are sprinkled throughout. The one at the tail end of “Never be Mine” is a standout. They also bring in a piano, adding some simple key thumping over “Goodbye Sweet Nothing.” The best part is that it all still sounds raw. It still cuts." –MP Johnson (Razorcake)
"Another great record from this band. A perfect mix of rock’n’roll with hardcore punk. The songs are driving, catchy, manic, and charged with high energy. They use a Farfisa organ, maracas, piano, and a tambourine in a few songs. Far from being your typical punk band. Everything about this is solid: the lyrics, the way they’re delivered, and the musicianship. You can’t lose with this." –Matt Average, Razorcake
"Orlando's kings of comic-book punk take another step forward with the explosive "Clawing Back," which picks up where 2006's blazing "Inferno" LP left off. Years of endless touring has nurtured the band from snotty speed-demons into a cohesive rock behemoth, one of the few modern hardcore bands to successfully transition from angry teenagers into adulthood without sucking out, selling out, or breaking up. The band's fast-paced youth still comes out to play on rippers like "Crime Waves" and "Mind Of God," but dig the pounding piano on "Goodbye Sweet Nothing" -- that's straight up r'n'r, baby! The vocals are all attitude, and the vocalist's high-pitched nasal sneers surf confidently atop a tidal wave of catchy guitar licks and pounding drums. While comparisons to old-school party punks like Gang Green are inevitable, this mutant take on the past proves rebel rockers still rule. Ten tracks in just less than 30 minutes: perfect for drinking, skating, thinking, or dating." -Kevin Wilcox, Rochester City Newspaper
"Six Weeks is proud to release the sonic new album by the RunnAmuckS. These delinquents combine the speed of early 80's Boston Hardcore like Jerry's Kids/The Freeze with the nasty rock of the Stooges/MC5. With huge production (self-produced by the band), huge Riffs and great songwriting, only one band in America can forge such a lethal mix of rock and punk and that's the RunnAmuckS."
As a winter present for everyone, I'm offering a free novella on my website.
