### RuntheRed

RuntheRed is an emerging Irish indie-alternative band founded in 2024 by lead vocalist Ciara and guitarist/pianist Amy, whose shared passion for songwriting began over casual lunches in a work canteen. What started as conversations between the pair quickly grew into a creative partnership, with the band's name even being dreamed up over the counter of a local deli AFTER already writing their first song “in Georgia” which includes the line *“let’s just Run the Red…*”. Their vision soon expanded into a full band, with Ana on violin, Alex on bass, and Matty on drums. 

Inspired by artists such as The Cranberries, The Frames, and boygenius, RuntheRed blends intimate storytelling with atmospheric indie soundscapes, exploring themes of love, identity, loss, and growing up
