- Home Star Runner
- Classic Pop Punk
with Irish Charm as bright as the Leprechaun’s rainbow.
-
- Remember the time
when the Pop Punk scene was dominated by the Blink-182 and Green
Day, and when Goldfinger played on the Tony Hawke’s Pro
Soundtrack? Miss those days? Queue Home Star Runner.
- Formed in 2004,
and signed to Irish Indie Blastspace in 2006, the
Dublin
four piece have already made their mark on their small island. Their debut
full length, Kill The Messanger, was released late 2006 and they
have since shared stages with Paramore, Elliot Minor, You Me at Six,
and heroes New Found Glory.
- Their sound is
that of the early Noughties and mirrors the Pop Punk melodies of
yesteryear. The breaks and stops are upbeat and rough, the structures are
edgy and refreshing, and whether it be the slow rhythmic downbeats or the
jumping highs, this bands first album is far stronger than any debut is
ever expected to be.
- The rest of 2008
holds plenty more for Home Star Runner, and they will be spending
the next few months on tour with The Story So Far and Look I’m A
Ghost, and with fingers crossed they may even end the year with their
own nationwide dates.
