THE RUNAWAY FIVE: Raygunomics


The Runaway Five - Raygunomics Now on iTunes, too!

R5 on Facebook R5 on Last.fm R5 on YouTube R5 on Twitter
The%20Runaway%20Five






The Runaway Five are a independent band from sunny Tucson, AZ born of a love of loud guitars, square wave synth leads, and impressive video game collections. They play 'sci-fi', a slick, retro-feeling synthesis of synth rock, dance punk, and power pop. The R5 blend guitar-driven rock, Nintendo Gameboys, and hook-filled dance music with a nostalgic sense of pop -- the kind of music someone in an 80s movie might have imagined people would listen to in the future. Influenced by The Talking Heads, The Cars, and 8-bit battle music, The Runaway Five's debut EP 'Raygunomics' is on sale now!

If you'd like us to play at your venue/party or are just a rich eccentric and want us to play in your basement for your own amusement, contact BASS@THERUNAWAY5.COM

The Runaway Five does not do weddings.
