Seeking: Label
Style: Grunge
A couple of things instantly stand out about Louisiana band Running from the Shadows. First off, it’s been a while since we heard a band describe itself as grunge—usually, groups avoid that tag for fear of pigeon-holing. Secondly, and more importantly, they employ Garbage Pail Kids-style artwork for their releases, and that’s awesome.
For “Alone,” we get a Garbage Pail Kid drowning, and that’s effective in conjunction with the devastating, persistently emotional, music. “Okay, I Get It” is a release of pent up frustration that will prove to be therapeutic to many. The references are obvious—Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam. Nothing wrong with that.
