Run, Walk! still releasing debut album, despite break up
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 8 May 2012
Noise rock pairing Run, WALK! have announced the release of their long-awaited debut album, whilst at the same time deciding to split. Alas, they giveth, and they taketh away. The LP, at least, will be released on a limited basis, with Holy Roar having pressed only 200 twelve-inch vinyl copies for issue on 16 Jul.
A statement from the band explains all: “I can’t believe I’m sat here writing this. About three and a half years ago Run, WALK! first come into fruition. We had the common goals of travelling as far as we could, touring as much as possible, playing super loud and having fun”.
It continues: “Sadly as time went on our common goals became harder to maintain. Real life began to take its toll as we grew up, however, as long time best friends and being devoted to playing our music we made it work for a long time but sadly it can’t go on forever”.
The first of the band’s farewell dates falls on 12 May at The Great Escape, with a tour with DZ Deathrays and further festival appearances at Brighton’s NWFA and Cheltenham’s 2000Trees also booked.
In the mean time, listen to fated album track ‘Black Dreams’ here:
