Being a UK website, it would be very easy to miss such talent that is only a plane away. But due to dedication we want to highlight the significance that international music makes to the industry as a whole. It’s very likely that bands will often make an impact into other countries and create a following across all parts of the globe. Here’s a band that we would love to come to the UK some time.
Heavily inspired by the classic 80s synth pop, The Runaway Club introduce a refreshing twist to the genre –appealing for lovers of heavy synth music alongside those who can take it or leave it. There’s something different about The Runaway Club, they don’t comfortably conform to any genre and often incorporate a whole host of techniques to create their songs. They can easily be compared to bands such as Prides or Two Door Cinema Club but could also be considered similar to others like Daughter, particularly lyrically, or even The Wombats. They have the ability to sound both familiar and invigorating at the same time, a quality even some of the best musicians lack.
The Runaway club are up for Best International Act as they are in fact an Canadian band.
The Runaway Club offer something unique and different, the energetic and upbeat music is often juxtaposed by the surprisingly deep and dark lyrics.
The winner of each category will be announced on December 30th.
