BEACHPARTY: Runaway

I’m officially in a yearly, sorry state where I spend all of winter in utter misery, hoping that tomorrow will magically produce a hot, sunny day, knowing full well that my allergies and pale skin won’t make that much of a fun occasion either.

BEACHPARTY is the THIRD band with the word ‘Beach’ in their name to be blogged by MFM this week. That says a lot about our urges to escape from cold, stagnating England. But it also speaks volumes about the quality of beach-inclined bands (disclaimer: It’s a coincidence); as the garage-pop of ‘Runaway’ captures my current aspirations perfectly. “Would you like to run away?”, bark the LA pair repeatedly for 2 and a half minutes. Yes, I would very much like to run away. But remind me to pack my factor 35 sun lotion beforehand, for crying out loud.
