running - asshole savant

you need to know about one of favorite bands..... RUNNING.....


think psych punk on speed.  or maybe art bent noise core.  RUNNING is an incendiary blast of rock n roll akin to smashing lou reed's "metal machine music" into the stooges and then smashing that combo into suicide.... they remind me of lightning bolt, clockcleaner, pink & brown, ex-models, the liars, and mi ami all rolled into one....but i can't describe RUNNING without doing them justice.  you just need to hear them now.....

RUNNING just get up on stage and blow yr fucking mind with a blown out mix of noise, punk, kraut and hardcore..... if yr face ISN'T melted after hearing RUNNING, you probably need to go buy a cd at walmart......

RUNNING started out a couple of years ago by releasing a few tapes, and then went on to unleash a s/t debut on PERMANENT records.  then they followed with a couple more tapes and a split 7 inch with LOOSE DUDES... and now via CAPTCHA records, we'll get their new lp, ASSHOLE SAVANT......  rumored to be one of the best releases this year.... i highly suggest you grab their new 12 inch when it comes out...... nobody plays noise punk like this.....fucking entrancing.........

ASSHOLE SAVANT is set to be released on RECORD STORE DAY 2012...... so make sure you grab a copy then...... very limited pressing is likely.......  i know permanent and reckless records will definitely have copies......

this is will be on my best of list for 2012 for sure.....
RUNNING is one of the best bands in the very much unheralded garage / punk / noise scene here in chicago......  


STREAM I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ALIVE 
OFF THE UPCOMING LP, ASSHOLE SAVANT, BELOW......


THEN WATCH THEIR SET FROM "SAUSAGE FEST" @ THE EMPTY BOTTLE....
