Entertainment Architects – Music PR Ireland

The city of Belfast has certainly produced some outstanding bands over the years and it has just given us one more gem to hold high above our heads and champion with pride.

Music aficionados will already be aware that, in 2011, the Belfast based indie pop band runawayGO have emerged as a force to be reckoned with. And now, they are about to become a household name as they trail-blaze their way through the Irish music scene, with heaving high energy performances and an arsenal of dynamic music.

Fronted by joint vocalists Dave Jackson and Fiona O’Kane, with Javed Love on drums, Chris Jackson on bass and James Lappin on guitar, the bands early performances have received high accolades from reviewers describing them as “a rare spectacle” and “one of the best bands in the country”.

Their dream ignited when they returned from London after winning Jack Daniel’s ‘JD Set Unsigned’ award. The accomplishment compelled them to put down a gruelling 18 months perfecting their sound and live performance. They discovered their on-stage energy was intoxicating, with audiences new and old compelled to sing back the anthemic choruses. And so, like all the bands that have made history, they decided to capitalise on their strengths.

Over the past six months, in the Start Together Studio in Belfast, the band have been recording their debut EP (due for release in February 2012), with Jonathan Shakhovskoy(Beady Eye & U2) on mixing duties in London and Geoff Pesche mastering at the Abbey Road Studios.

Although it is early days for runaway GO, the band have attracted great interest from several corners of the music industry. One of the tracks from their forthcoming EP ‘Don’t Let Me’ has been included in the independent movie “Making Ugly’ and the track ‘Wide Awake’ is being approached for inclusion in an Xbox LIVE game due for release in 2012.

Their debut single ‘Alligator’, was the confident debut single to be taken from this forthcoming EP which gives a worthy representation of the calibre you can expect from runawayGO’s debut record.

The band’s second single was released in Ireland on Nov 25th. ‘Delicate Man’ has proven to be a crowd favourite – and it’s big chorus gets everyone joining in..
