NMT: Runner Runner



This week's New Music Tuesday is Running off their debut album from Huntington Beach's own Runner Runner.

Yes.. it's a very pop punk-ish album.. I actually have a really big soft spot and mildly addicted taste to the high energy and catchy riffs pop punk albums provide LOL.. Yes, it sounds like most other bands, yes, I'm sure they'll probably make their way to MTV sometime, and NO, you are not gay if you listen to it. That's just elitist bullshit because their shitty little no name bands won't get any recognition.. waah.

Their first single "So Obvious" screams of classic pop punk style, from the quiet first verse intro, to the big drum hit to chorus "BOOM! ...This is our night, look in your eyes..." and even the pop punk interlude no instruments for 8 bars then straight into the chorus with a key change.. LOL yes its cookie cutter Pop Punk.. and for some reason.. i flippin' LOVE it. So sue me.

If you got a taste for that Southern California Pop Punk style you can buy their album on iTunes:
