Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Runaway State formed in 2002 with Matthew Murphy on vocals, Tom Williams on guitar, Alex Casnoff on bass, and Mike Madden on drums. They released three albums between 2005 and 2012: their self-titled debut in 2005, followed by 'Lightning at the Door' in 2007, and 'Nowhere to Be Found' in 2012.
Their song 'We Grown Up Too Fast' became their breakout single, connecting with listeners through its raw emotion and themes of adolescence. Other tracks like 'Circles' and 'Let You Go' continued to explore feelings of alienation and searching for meaning.
This didn't seem to diminish their appeal to their core audience, who appreciated their direct approach to songwriting.
