Artist History from the moment of penning such sweet, pop epithets as 'your butt begs for butter', the Runs have embarked on a prodigious journey of symbol and emotion in their songs. inspired by environment and by beer, the Runs wrought out the lurchy 'up with people' and the assault of 'she's a nutcase'. from simple beginnings, the Runs have forged a small niche out of their world; a niche that says 'i'm liberated enough to say that i can change my own tire'.
