REVIEWS IN!

:::INK 19:::"From there on out this ear-catching debut screams like an old Lookout! Album."

:::METROactive::: "The Runs are straight punk as it's meant to be played: in a bar, drunk, fast, witty and loud as hell."

:::ROCK'N'ROLL PURGATORY:::"...the bland rag of banality."

:::IN MUSIC WE TRUST::: "...the punk-inspired party-rock record you want to just blast."

:::SPACE CITY ROCK::: "...there's really something in this album for everyone who has ever liked any punk over the years."

:::HUSSIESKUNK::: "There's The Queers. Then there was Screeching Weasel. Now we have The Runs."

:::F.U.T. Magazine:::"...a familiar Ramonesesque sound with a blast of originality"

:::AMP online:::"...certainly worth listening to"

:::SCORE! MUSIC MAGAZINE:::"If you are looking for 14 short, sharp shots of old-school punk, give the debut album by The Runs a shot."

:::NWxSW Connections::: "Catch 'em if ya can!"

:::POCKETFUL OF CHANGE::: "sloppy three chord punk akin to the era when Wimpy still fronted the Queers"

:::CULTURE BUNKER::: "good, old-fashioned barre chord punk rock" "full-on downstroke Johnny Ramone guitar"

:::NEO-ZINE::: "These guys are just full on entertaining."

:::SKA, PUNK AND OTHER JUNK::: "Impressive debut album..."

:::MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL::: "a crisp, clean and concise listening experience"

:::RAZORCAKE::: "Accept no substitutes!" "...pretty fast, pretty poorly recorded Ramonesy punk band"

:::ROCKINDAYS.it::: "from a trio brought up on bread, water and Ramones"

:::HYBRID MAGAZINE.com::: "Primitive garage punk... reminiscent of very early Bad Brains..."

:::TERMINAL-BOREDOM::: "Well written and well played... and the songs themselves are a bit smarter (and funnier) than the title concept will lead you to believe."

:::NEUFUTUR::: "...the tracks are crafted with the perfect blend of catchiness and maturity... eminently singable... a challenge to not absolutely love."

:::BUZZGRINDER.com::: "This is raw stuff... this is the way it should be."

:::AGOUTI MUSIC.com::: "Musically, The Runs arent doing anything new. They are doing it fairly well. They arent just writing a bunch of songs about going to the bathroom either."

:::ASKEW REVIEWS.com::: "...there are also a bunch of songs that are catchy and have great energy and are really impossible not to bop along with."

:::READ MAGAZINE.com::: "It's hard to fuck up pop-punk, but these guys do a great job at it."

:::SKRATCH MAGAZINE::: "all kinds of rough around the edges"

Hello
Firstly, I hope all is well with you and yours.  I am personally touching base with everyone on my friend’s list.  I have the next few months off before I start a tour early next year, and I want to take this time to thank you for your friendship and support , and share my latest news.  In my latest blog I posted the transcript of my recent interview with MUEN Magazine, which was featured in the October issue. It explains a lot more about who I am behind the music, if you are interested. There is a free mp3 download of a song I did called “Be Still” that can exclusively be downloaded from my iLike profile. As always, just click on any of the links on the right side of my main profile page to access my iTunes, Facebook, YouTube, iLike, official page etc.  If you will, please add me at any site you are on, as I do different things on each site.  I am also announcing that “Blush” and “Disclaimer”, two songs off my debut album “The Good Fight”, will soon be downloadable on Xbox live and PS3 Nation to play on Rock Band. I leave you now with a song I uploaded today on my YouTube.  It’s my spin on my all time favorite blues song, and part of my live set.  I recorded it at my house the other day. It also debuts the new logo I designed. Hope you enjoy it. If you dig my work, share it with a friend. I don’t care about fame or money, I am just one man who loves music, and dedicates my life to sharing it with as many people as possible. Thank you again for your friendship and support.
Best Wishes
Gregory
