the musical spectrum that preaches angst and anarchy, theres still somethin

beautiful about music that makes you smile... Run On The Sun creates the soundtrac

to young love and living life to its fullest.. Run On The Sun has great candor in the

music but make no mistake about their dedication or commitment to making mus

that matters. - The Midnight Bandwidth

of acts such as Jack's Mannequin and The Fray with the piano melodies blending
