The True Faith "Running Away"

With Running Away, Boston’s The True Faith build on the momentum of their debut LP, They Can Always Hurt You More, delivering a single that brims with urgency and conviction. From the opening bars, the track pulses forward with a relentless drive, layering chiming guitars and propulsive rhythms into a sound that feels both immediate and timeless.

Drawing on the atmospheric intensity of The Chameleons, the emotive clarity of Sad Lovers and Giants, and the anthemic spirit of early U2, The True Faith transform familiar touchstones into something uniquely their own. The result is a song that captures the exhilaration of forward motion while grappling with the tension of escape—sonic catharsis wrapped in post-punk poetics.

Running Away serves not only as a continuation of the band’s recent full-length but as a declaration of their growing range and confidence. It’s a track that distills their influences into a driving statement of intent, signaling that The True Faith are not content to linger in the past—they’re sprinting headlong into their future.
