Comprised of twin brothers Owen (vocals/guitar) and Kent (lead guitar) Stavenuiter, Dan Glover (bass) and Callum Ford (drums).The band have played several headline sets in venues in the West Midlands and have taken their sound across the UK, performing to crowds as far as London.Their debut single ‘Rattlesnake’,gained airplay and support from the likes of BBC Introducing along with their second and third single ‘Sophie’ and ‘Nightlight’.

Warm ethereal guitar melodies glisten and adorn ‘Strangers’ with beaming glimmers of illumination as Runaway Hounds hone in on their tightly weaved and biting indie sound. With a buoyant, deft drum and bass foundation the track packs in a meaty punch while still maintaining a feathery light texture within a subtle dazed atmosphere. Nonchalant vocals coat the sweet melody in a breezy yet passionate topping. The band explore the concept of love at first sight, both embracing and questioning the feelings encountered at this moment with gentle fluttering instrumentation which twists through darker dizzying soundscapes. The song builds gently to its catchy chorus as the guitars cultivate the majestic and refined tone with a sweet sharp solo while the groove-laced bass accompanies, playfully bouncing and wiggling between the biting guitar. Runaway Hounds are maturing and blossoming beautifully into a band with a sturdy tight and refined sound that is both exciting and enduring.
