RUN (alt/rock)
Run is a hard hitting 3-piece rock band, out of Los Angeles, CA
In early 2001, Run began playing the local LA club scene. After a few years of playing, writing & recording great rock tunes in their ProTools Studio, the band got its first real break. In 2005, their first single, "Wasting Away", hit the airwaves. Run was suddenly being played on radio stations across the United States. Over 20 stations in major US markets aired the single, most of them adding it to their regular playlist. To support the single, and their full length album, "The Itis", Run hit the road. With a van, a trailer, and enough cd's & t-shirts to support themselves, the band quickly began to connect with fans across the country. After 2 years on the road, it was time to get back into the studio. In 2007 the band released its second album, "The Bitter End". Since then, the music has continued to receive thousands of Internet downloads and Myspace plays. Run's fanbase continues to grow at an incredible rate, proving the success of both albums.
In July of 2008, while on tour, the bands drummer decided to call it quits. Mike (vocals/guitar) and Darren (bass) found themselves out on the road with shows booked, and no drummer to play them. They knew that they needed a real professional to complete the formation. After about a month of holding auditions in their Los Angeles studio, Maxx Zinno (originally from Pulse Ultra and Rise Electric) joined the band. Maxx brings a solid, driving rhythm to the live show, and studio recordings. With the band now complete, more albums and more tours are just around the corner. Keep you ears open for America's new rock band. RUN.
