The group adds shows to sold-out 2026 tour
The Runarounds have released “Chasing The Good Times” via AWAL. The song was co-written and produced by Brad Shultz (founding member and guitarist for Cage The Elephant) and mixed by Rich Costey (Foo Fighters, Sigur Ros, Muse, Haim). The track is nostalgic, anthemic indie rock at its best. Think pop-punk energy with the DNA of a small-town garage band. The music video was shot along their sold-out Minivan Tour.
What began as a weekly beach bar residency in Wilmington, North Carolina, soon turned into a coast-to-coast journey, as the band cut their teeth on college campuses, festival stages, and club venues across the country — culminating in a sold-out night at the storied Troubadour in Los Angeles. Coming off of their Amazon Prime show (of the same name) the band has been touring on the music they wrote for the series soundtrack, all of which was recorded live on set. Their sold-out fall tour had fans lining up at 9 am each morning for a chance to get day-of-show tickets or even just a glimpse of the real-life band from their favorite show.
Due to unprecedented demand, the band announced an extension of the fall 2025 Minivan Tour with 32 new dates added for the 2026 leg of the tour. Most of the shows in the new leg have already sold out, with over 40,000 tickets already sold, and many venues upgraded to larger rooms. The band will be performing at LA’s The Fonda on January 23rd, Chicago’s Riviera Theatre on February 10th, New York’s Irving Plaza on February 18th & 19th, D.C.’s 9:30 Club on February 20th, and Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl on February 28th and March 1st.
The Talking Heads’ Jerry Harrison produced the band’s first EP, The Runarounds Live at USC. Inspired by Back Seat Lovers (whose song “Kilby Girl” they cover frequently!), The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and more, the band wrote or co-wrote all of their music featured in the show that served as their first album, The Runarounds (Original Soundtrack). The album features singles “Senior Year” and “Funny How The Universe Works” as well as fan favorite “Ghosts.” Not to mention it features covers of the Zutons’ “Valerie” (notably performed by Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson and Cheap Trick’s “Surrender.”
