Love Affair by Runabay – Free Music Feature MP3
“Love Affair” by Runabay is our tasty feature of the week. We’ve been playing whatever this band want to send us on the live show (big fans), so thrilled to see so many TUNES available for free over on their Soundcloud page – this is just one of them.
Runabay are at the forefront of fresh, new music in Northern Ireland, a sound which has undeniably been shaped by the beautiful coastline which surrounds the Glens of Antrim and is felt through the swooping melodies and poignant lyrics. The band produce a mature sound that leaves the listener hanging on the intricate guitar riffs, mellow three part harmonies and haunting cello. Hailing from the Glens of Antrim, Belfast and Peterborough, ‘Runabay’ is a newly formed six piece band which has been functioning since February 2014. Their style has elements of folk, indie and melodic pop.

Minnesota born and bred, and sprung from the same hometown as Garrison Keillor, Noller crafts songs that are at times folky, rough, weird, and bitingly sarcastic. All with literary flair and more hooks than a tackle box. He has written and recorded all Skittish albums in a hand-built lean-to of a studio in St Paul, Minnesota.
