Run! Hide!

It’s only rock’n’roll… or is it? With the mission statement reading “Play

hard’n’fast and have a great time doing it” Run! Hide! are rapidly commanding

the attention and respect of Sydney’s live music scene with their unrestrained

ferocity and unique blend of influences.



Along the way their self-titled and self-released EP made its way into the

hands of fans, receiving favourable comparisons to the likes of The Bronx

and hailed as re-attaching the balls to the local music scene. Major support

slots soon followed including opening for like-minded Canadians, Cancer Bats.

Many well-worn stages and spilt drinks later, the band found themselves

transforming beyond their original mandate; with a new level of technical ability

and live experience it was time to step things up for their second excursion

into the recording studio. Enlisting the services of producer/madman Dave

Hammer once again, the new Run!Hide! sound has expanded beyond the

foundations set on the first EP, to reach for fresh ground in classic songwriting,

bolstered by a richer production and bold personality.



“We really wanted to make a rock record, filling out the production a lot

more to give each song its own character; to enhance them and create a

record that was more dynamic overall,” explains guitarist Rohan Carter. “We

switched up guitars/amps/pedals a lot to achieve this as well, taking cues and

ideas from bands we look up to but making sure to give it our own twist.”

Lyrically, the band’s unrelenting drive is backed up by frontman Cristian

Campano’s key theme of personal empowerment: “In a lifelong journey to fulfil your goals and dreams, you should disregard anything that gets in your way,” he positively asserts.



And so forms the Run! Hide! roaring from your speakers with their second

EP delivered with the charge and conviction of vintage hardcore. There’s

the polar opposite guitar styles – Carter’s fret-burnin‚ southern rock soloin’‚

hard up against James Eastman’s laidback, fuzzed-drenched noodles - that

occasionally join for a stadium rattling duel; the intense vocal melodies of

Campano aided by Carter’s devilish roar and the authoritative skin-and-stringbelting

combo of drummer Michael Zagoridis and bass player Andrew Knox.

So is it still rock’n’roll? Most certainly, but for their second self-titled EP

Run! Hide! have added what lifts bands out from the pack: more than a

few surprises.



“We’re all cool as long as we get to play rock’n’roll our way,” states Carter.

“If people dig it, well then it’s a nice little bonus!”



"While most bands these days are too afraid to rock out for fear of their eyeliner running or their perfectly curated hair falling out of place, Run! Hide! once again step up to the plate and give us something decent to listen to. If you want raw passion hunt this one down. 9/10"
