If the golden rule of pop is based on a balance of tension and release, then this genre is entirely absent from the repertoire of Brooklyn based power trio Young Runner, which is built upon a foundation of "tension and EVEN MORE tension." You can gather that from single "Wet Cement" (streaming), an unrelenting aural assault vaguely inspired to early grunge and industrial rock, but enriched with anthemic guitar riffs, that from an initial simple bass line alarmingly builds up towards the sonic peak of the chorus, featuring filtered vocals, frantic drums and rivers of distoreted guitars. The band released their self titled debut EP this summer and lately has been regularly playing at noise loving venues like Cake Shop and Don Pedro.
