Runaways

Waitin For The Night Runaways

Although by this time The Runaways had lost both Cherie Currie and Jackie Fox, it was by no means fatal as Joan Jett took over the lead vocals. With snarling vocals from Joan and in your face rock guitar from Lita Ford, this was a fantastic album from The Runaways. Tracks like the jaded 'Little Sister' and the catchy 'Wait for Me' proved there was plenty of life in the girls yet!! Critically acclaimed but never receiving their due, The Runaways were formed in Hollywood in 1975, with the help of music svengali / producer Kim Fowley, becoming the first all female rock and roll band to actually make an impression on the record buying public and musicians alike - although more so now than then! Respected in their day by bands such as Blondie and the Ramones, and now cited as a major influence by bands such as Courtney Love, Bikini Kill, L7, the Donnas and Babes in Toyland The Runaways time has finally come!
