Matthew Pickering-Copley (bass, vocals) and Tom Clements (drums) aka Run Walk have been battering UK and European audiences with their bass-led artrock for several years.
They formed as teenagers in the southern city of Winchester and it wasn’t long until they were snapped up by influential hardcore label Holy Roar (Gallows, Rolo Tomassi, Trash Talk, The Ghost of a Thousand). Shortly afterwards they released the seventrack EP ‘I Hope This All Works Out So I Can Stop Standing on Even Amounts of Manholes in the Street‘ to critical acclaim.
Their unrelenting hard work and dedication to the cause was rewarded in 2011 with a slot at SXSW where the band were one of the loudest and most devastating highlights of the festival. A split 7″ with U.S band Sirs followed later in the year on Holy Roar and Topshelf Records which was named as Artrocker Magazine’s single of the month.
Run Walk head into the studio this month with Jason Sanderson (Rolo Tomassi, Hawk Eyes, The Plight) to record their début album while February sees them set out on their first UK tour of the year. Check out the dates below.
