Runaround Kids

Runaround Kids are a Wakefield indie rock group active since 2008. The band consists of George Garthwaite, Jack Winn and Rob Burnell, and they are signed to Philophobia.

Release history

In 2011 they release their debut album, Linked Arms.

On Radio 1, Huw Stephens names the album as his Tip of the Week.

The band play Leeds and Reading Festivals in 2010, and return to Leeds Festival in 2011 at the request of Leeds label Dance To The Radio. They also appear at the inaugural Constellations and Long Division festivals, as well as Live At Leeds, Tramlines, Eurocultured and Bomfest.
