Two Strikes releases new single “Run Away”

UK-based rock band Two Strikes is rapidly rising in the alternative music scene with an original and gripping sound. Drawing from a wide range of musical influences such as Muse, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden, Manic Street Preachers and My Chemical Romance, the trio has developed a thrilling musical output that blends bold rock riffs with melodic alternative writing.

With a genre-spanning style that stitches together elements of grunge, classic rock and indie, Two Strikes delivers music that’s already struck a chord with listeners across the UK and beyond. Formed by musicians who’ve lived through their fair share of life’s hardships, they focus on writing songs that explore real-life stories and experiences. “The stories are real and they matter,” the band explains, noting that their music is born from the trials, challenges and loss they’ve faced together.

“We believe that the best music changes you when you listen; changes how you feel, moves you, maybe even changes your life,” they add. Two Strikes made their explosive entrance last month with the debut single “Control,” an enthralling track that marked their arrival on the music scene in spectacular fashion.

Now, Two Strikes keep up the momentum and bring us their latest release with their brand new sophomore single titled “Run Away.” Both poignant and powerful, “Run Away” reflects the personal tragedies that have recently affected the band; two members lost their fathers, reshaping their outlook on both life and their musical journey.

Produced by Chris Coulter, whose past credits include work with Arcane Roots and Giant Walker, “Run Away” serves up an epic rock ride brimming with memorable vocal hooks, crunching guitars and powerful drums. Brought in by the twang of guitar notes and muted percussion, the track launches with emotive vocals, pulsing bass notes and snapping drums before erupting with a burst of energy.

With an anthem chorus of splashing drums, driving instrumentation and soaring vocals, with “Run Away,” Two Strikes forges a rousing alternative sound that’s as catchy as it is meaningful. Once again showcasing their superb songwriting talent and performance flair, this exciting new band continues to go from strength to strength on their must-watch musical adventure and we can’t wait to see what they’ve got in store next.
