| Album Description: |
The Runaways were a pioneering all-girl rock band formed in 1975 in Los Angeles, California. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1976, and they followed it up with their sophomore album, "Queens of Noise," the following year. The band was known for their high-energy performances and their raw, rebellious sound that blended punk rock, hard rock, and glam rock.
"And Now... The Runaways" marked a departure from the band's previous albums. While their earlier work was characterized by high-energy rock and roll, "And Now... The Runaways" featured a more polished sound with a heavier emphasis on melody and harmonies. The album's production was overseen by John Alcock, who had previously worked with bands like Led Zeppelin and The Who. The Runaways were known for their provocative, rebellious image, and "And Now... The Runaways" was no exception. The album tackled themes like sex, drugs, and rock and roll. "And Now... The Runaways" received mixed reviews from critics upon its release. While some praised the album's more polished sound and the band's musical growth, others criticized it for straying too far from The Runaways' raw, unpolished sound. Rolling Stone magazine described the album as "slick, but not necessarily satisfying," while Creem magazine called it "an album that's definitely better than some of The Runaways' previous releases, but still leaves something to be desired." "And Now... The Runaways" was the band's final studio album before they disbanded in 1979. While it was not as commercially successful as their earlier work, it showcased the band's versatility and musical growth. The Runaways' legacy as one of the first all-girl rock bands continues to influence musicians to this day, and their impact on the punk and hard rock scenes of the 1970s cannot be overstated. |
