Formed in 2009, we are MoonRunners, a female led [indie]-[rock]-[alt]-[punk]-[pop] band from the North East of England (Sunderland). The name of the band stems from the 1979 cult movie The Warriors, "the moonrunners" being one of the gangs from the film.
MoonRunners are signed to Teesside based independent record label Satellite Records!
We're good friends with punk legend and Sunderland born, Mr. Pete Dee of The Adicts, who over the years has shown great support and passed onto us some valuable advice.
Our style has been compared to that of Paramore with our lead singer having been likened to Hayley Williams style of voice. Others have commented on her singing style resembling 80's artist Hazel O'Connor, others Debbie Harry, others Chrissie Hynde, and yet others state her voice resembles that of Siouxsie Sioux from Siouxsie and the Banshees, some PJ Harvey, some even Morrissey of The Smiths.
