The city of Belfast has certainly produced some outstanding bands over the years and it has just given us one more gem to hold high above our heads and champion with pride.
Music aficionados will already be aware that, in 2011, the Belfast based indie pop band Runaway GO emerged as a force to be reckoned with. And now, they are about to become a household name as they trail-blaze their way through the Irish music scene, with heaving high energy performances and an arsenal of dynamic music.
Fronted by joint vocalists Dave Jackson and Fiona O’Kane, with Javed Love on drums, Chris Jackson on bass and James Lappin on guitar, the bands early performances have received high accolades from reviewers describing them as “a rare spectacle” and “one of the best bands in the country”.
Their dream ignited when they returned from London after winning Jack Daniel’s ‘JD Set Unsigned’ award. The accomplishment compelled them to put down a gruelling 18 months perfecting their sound and live performance. They discovered their on-stage energy was intoxicating, with audiences new and old compelled to sing back their anthemic choruses. And so, like all the bands that have made history, they decided to capitalise on their strengths.
Over the past six months, in the Start Together Studio in Belfast, the band have been recording their debut album (due for release in 2013), with Jonathan Shakhovskoy (Beady Eye & U2).
Although it is early days for Runaway GO, the band have attracted great interest from several corners of the music industry. The track that’s about to make the most noise is ‘This Is Real’, the follow up to their confident single ‘Jump Start’ which gives a worthy representation of the calibre you can expect from Runaway GO’s debut album.
The band have stated their mission – Runaway GO are going to be the next band to put Ireland on the map, in bold fluorescent rocking colours. Watch this space!
Support: The Moogles Hot off a great support slot at the last Cafe Sessions gig The Moogles will read two pieces from new works by female playwrights.
