Baltimore Bands: Roomrunner

When Double Dagger broke up in 2011, I was heartbroken, but with the creation of new bands, I felt hope for the Baltimore music scene. I could see it being evolving and changing, and with bands like Roomrunner, formed by the ex-Double Dagger member Denny Brown, I'm excited to see the results.



A noise rock band, these guys don't mess around. The vocals are on the low-fi side, the drums are not at all shy, and the guitars are dizzying bolts and swarms of sound; this is mosh-worthy music. It's a mess of noise, and it makes you want to lose control in a crowd of sweaty, slightly inebriated 20-somethings. It's a visceral sound, but it's still open. Comparable to Wavves but a little darker, Roomrunner is a return to early 90's feedback screeches but has an energy that makes it new. 



Get their LP, "Super Vague" or get a taste of their next album by checking out their bandcamp
