Search - Runaway City :: Armored Heart

The name Runaway City comes from the accounts of ancient Israel. When someone committed a serious crime such as murder, that person had to runaway to one of the six cities of refuge in order to escape the vengeance of the victim's family. In this city of refuge, he could seek safe haven until he was given a fair trial. The band explains, 'By calling ourselves Runaway City, we want people to see hope. We want to be an escape for people from whatever they may be going through, even if it is for just a 3 minute song.'

Produced by Jason Elgin at Synchromesh Studios in Birmingham, AL, Runaway City literally shines on their debut recording, which belies their young average age of 22 years old. From huge rock songs with massive anthems and chorus to beautifully melodic rock ballads, the band has crafted an album full of high quality, fully realized compositions, a true rarity in this day of flavor of the month songs.
