biographical info
Rum Runner was formed in Calgary, Alberta at the end of 2001. An early incarnation of Rum Runner gigged around town, letting their now fully-matured sound age like Canadian whiskey. Drawing musical influence from such artists as Blind Willie Johnson, Leadbelly, Bo Diddley, New York Dolls and the Pogues, and lyrical inspiration from the likes of Raymond Chandler, John Huston and the spirit of youth, Rum Runner has been successful in brewing a style of punk rock that is as exciting as it is unique.
