Play 90 second soundbite of 'Running Out' @ 'CD quality'
'Running Out' and its 'B' side, 'End To Begin' err on the pop side of light rock; both songs are catchy little buggers and benefit from being well structured and nicely thought out. Full of annoyingly infectious riffs and fills both tracks are actually well worthy of taking the leading role here. The vocal intonation and delivery of Redneck Renegade bring to mind 60's artists R Dean Taylor and Thunderclap Newman and I can even hear some Beatles and latter day Pink Floyd (or at least Roger Waters) in there too although the songs are very much more 'now' in content and style.
Redneck Renegade certainly have something very likeable about them; their overall sound is distinctive and therefore easily recognisable and they defo seem to understand how to pen catchy little songs that are radio friendly and have a large dose of instant appeal about them.
Redneck Renegade's 'Running Out' has the potential to do very well and I think the band have that extra 'something' that could just see them becoming a 'name' in the not too distant future. 'Running Out', although very much pop/rock has a pretty timeless feel to it - it's well written, well crafted and has a commercial quality to it that's hard to pin down but should go down well and stand the test of time.
