Q: You Stopped Playing Shows in 2015. Do you
                                                               plan to get out there again?



                                                               Yep, our last show was at SPiN in New York
                                                               City.  Both  guitarist  (Krystal)  and  bassist
                                                               (me)  moved  to  Texas,  so  we've  sort  of
                                                               broken up for the time being. Combine that
                                                               with  the  COVID-19  pandemic  holding

                                                               steady as a thorn in everybody's sides, it'd
                                                               probably be awhile before we had another
                                                               show. But we love being on stage, so don't
                                                               count us out!


                                                               Q: Is anything next for Running Thoughts?


     Q: Who are your biggest influences?                       We're  writing  tunes  in  between  our

                                                               individual projects, so while I wouldn't say
     You  name  it!  We  create  based  on  what               to  expect  anything  soon,  it  isn't  too  far
     speaks to us, we can only hope it resonates               fetched to say that 2021 might see Running
     with  others.  Our  influences  (individually             Thoughts release a new tune or two!
     and  as  a  band)  include  The  Ramones,

     Fanny,  The  Clash,  The  Runaways,  Suzi
     Quatro,  Black  Flag,  Talking  Heads.
     Steering  away  from  the  60's/70's  rock
     artists, additional vocal influences include
     Joan  Jett,  Nancy  Wilson,  Etta  James,  Pat
     Benatar,  Debbie  Harry,  Ronnie  Spector,
     Darlene Love, Stevie Nicks, and the Beach
     Boys.  That's  not  to  say  we  haven't  been

     influenced  by  other  artists  or  by  these
     artists  in  some  other  way,  but  the  artist
     above  certainly  took  part  in  laying  the
     groundwork for who we would become as
     artists.

     was quite a long time coming, and is about                 runningthoughts.bandcamp.com
     as  early  70's  punk  an  album  as  could  ever

     exist. It was a blast to record!
