Runner Runner: BeatCrave Fav
By Winnie Jaing
Talk about new bands. Runner Runner has only been functioning for a little over a year, and already they’ve toured with bands like Mest and Relient K. Granted, the members of this band come from other successful bands (Over It, Rufio), but it just goes to show that once you are in the music industry, you can’t get out of it. This unsigned quintet utilizes pop rock and electronica to create what lead singer Ryan Ogren calls “undeniable pop songs”.
Runner Runner’s name comes from the poker term meaning “against the odds”. It also exemplifies the amount of energy this band has at each and every one of its shows. Catch Runner Runner on tour in a city near you and check them out in our BeatCrave Fav series below!
