Born out of the backstreets of Edinburgh’s rock and blues club scene, RumRunners’ have moulded a familiar but ultimately fresh sonic take on classic tones, rocking riffs and moody swagger, combining a contemporary gritty indie edge with vintage rock and blues roots at their heart. Already drawing comparisons from their contemporaries, the band are currently signed to Infinite Hive.
