	The JD Set	290 dagen geleden
	THE JD Set, Ireland’s leading unsigned band competition, touches down for two explosive heats at Trinity Rooms next month. Performing in front of a panel of judges comprised of music industry representatives in Limerick on Thursday March 19 will be Aortal, Neon Stars and Nick Carswell and the Elective Orchestra. The following night, Friday March 20, it will be Camoige Lovers, VIC and Roadrunner vying for a place in the final at Crawdaddy, Dublin on Thursday April 23. Legendary punk rocker Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers will judge the final of The JD Set. “I am delighted to hear the quality of the JD Set entries has been really high this year. Ireland has a really vibrant music scene and it does not surprise me that there are so many exciting bands coming through,” said Cornwell. “It has always been very difficult for bands to make it in the music industry, which is why The JD Set is so worthwhile and gives bands a chance to play a live set in top live music venues and reach new audiences. I want to wish all the shortlisted bands the best of luck in the live heats and I am looking forward to judging the final,” he claimed. Entry to all The JD Set gigs will be free.

	Roadrunner review by musicreview.ie	742 dagen geleden
	Roadrunner are a four piece rock band from Dublin, they capture rock music with the essence of rhythm and blues with an indie edge. Dr Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde – This tune has some great melodic structures in the song with some indie rock feel and a Guns n Rose style going on. Upbeat and rocking, great stuff. Sparks – This is a more easy listening tune, more indie than rock with a nice country feel. The vocals are excellent with some nice catchy lyrics, the mid changes are cool, they lift the tune up nicely with some great grooving bass and effects streaming from the guitar. Thief in the alley – This tune has great Who type of an intro and keep its momentum through out the song. It kicks and bites with some great vocals and rock out beats. Review by T.Halpin RATE: **** VERY GOOD

	Hotpress Magazine	972 dagen geleden
	Roadrunner recieved a mention on page 95 of the April edition of Hotpress magazine: "That Ireland is brimful of new rock talent can be proven in one with the 35-track compilation Our Space put together by the Dun Laoghaire College of Further Education. Hard to believe that there were times when our educational establishments were aggresively antagonistic to rock music, but thanks to the foresight of people like John McFadden of DCFE, this is no longer automatic. Tracks that stood out on early listens included 'Sparks' by Roadrunner, 'Vegas Sun' by The Fundamentals, 'Flower' by Random Pete and 'Postcard' by Gary Scully. One could argue that less might be more, but there's more than enough quality on these two CDs to blank out the iffy bits." Words by Jackie Hayden, Hotpress
