Rock and roll has saved many of our souls. You might remember being the awkward adolescent, hating pretty much everyone around you including yourself, and feeling like no one sees things as they really are. Then one day, you pass an old skate shop or record store pumping out some notes of wisdom in the form of loud guitars, heaven-raising bass rifts, and a mournful voice full of scowling anger and heartbreak recognition. Such moments are the aha moments that make everything all right. Rock and roll is a savior worthy of claiming as your patron saint.

Run Run Run is a group of hard rocking dudes who appear to strut while playing "shoegazer" music. One look at their lithe yet slouchy hipster poses take me back to memories of the mysterious cool boys who do music rather than effin homework, hiding behind Melody Maker in class. Just when you think they are going to ignore you, pow! The band members sling and fling dreamland sounds towards you at warp speed. Their performances exude catapulting and swirly instrumentation, trippy dancing lights, rugged yet sweet lyrics and LA bravado.

Trip out with Run Run Run

Their UK shoegazer influenced sound is infused with power rock roundhouse kick. For those clueless on what shoegazer means, will see the light with singer Xander's pithy definition. "The term 'shoegazer' came from the press describing early 90's English bands that were making swirlee psychedelic music, usually had a big light show, and seemed so pre-occupied with creating these sounds, that they would just stare at their feet and remain motionless. The last part of this description surely does not apply to Run Run Run. The live show is certainly energetic and rambunctious. The sounds created by Run x 3, however, certainly nod to the beautiful soundscape laid out by our "shoegazer" predecessors. We are shoegazer with a kick."

Run Run Run have played with Manchester UK's Brassy, London's Gene, Kid Galahad, Haven, Shack, and Driveblind. February 27, 2004, they opened up the Zombies Reunion Tour at the Key Club, on Sunset Blvd, in Hollywood. They had an explosive debut a week after 9/11, playing with Concrete Blonde and drunken dog's dream, Whiskey Biscuit, at the Spaceland, in the Silver Lake, LA neighborhood.

The third song,."Skyscraper" from their five song Drizzle EP, is not intended to be a psychic- though psycho agro energy strikes out from the guitars with furious slashes- premonition of the NYC attack. Xander shares that the song is about "a weird dream I had where I was 15 and wanting to kick down all the tall buildings so I could see the sun. Then 9-11 happened, and the meaning changed for everyone else.'

"Skyscraper" is a powerful moment for the band. When it was written, worked up and eventually realized on stage, we could tell that this song was going to have an impact. It almost always closes our live set, feeling like a punch when it kicks in. People always request it [on influential radio stations] and ask about it. It does it job in conveying the uncomfortable and explosive feelings boiling inside the mind of the would-be "domestic" terrorist/pyromaniac. It came from things my schoolmates used to talk about when [we] were pissed off teenagers, and I chose to capture those sentiments in a song. I chose an obvious focal point, the World Trade Center in NYC. When 9-11 happened, a ficticious story became reality. Other than unfortunate coincidence, the song has no political tie-in to the terrorist attack.

Run Run Run, of course, does not condone that behavior and finds it an unfortunate thing that such destructive inclination lay within so many young people." Anger can explode psychotically on so many levels. Kids, stick to Run x 3s elevating "nightmare pop."
