Bio

A fresh face in the Nashville music scene, The Running Back is comprised of four passionate guys (Alan Thomas - vocals, guitar; Vince DiCarlo - guitar, vocals; Joseph Williams - bass, programming) mixing melodies and words in an effort to present something significant to their listeners. The Running Back presents it’s first studio effort through a self-titled EP produced by Peter Kipley (2004 Songwriter of the Year (SESAC), Mercy Me, Phil Wickham, Matthew West)  that offers rock with a catchy flare of pop.

"We do this for one simple reason: to point people to light in darkness," says lead singer, Alan Thomas. "We know a hope that surpasses everything, and maybe through our songs and our lives we can help our listeners know the same."

Delivering 5 solid songs to make this collection worth grabbing, The Running Back has a bright future upon the landscape of popular music.

The Running Back was recently featured on Relevant Magazine's "The Drop" and is currently in the rotation of relevant.fm.

From thealbumproject.net:

Best of list: “Top 5 EP’s of 2010”

“The band has a new 5 song EP which blows me away each time I listen to it. I'm still amazed at how many hooks got crammed into the modest songs that don't ever get pushy.”

From bestnewbands.com:

“The Running Back is musical cotton candy that is sweet, melts in your mouth, absorbs into your cells, and makes you want more, more, more.”

“The Edge-like guitar sweetness, mellow vocals, profound lyrics, digital dreaminess, raw talent, tight tasteful drumming. Perfect.”
