Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Danny Seraphine of Chicago, the band's second album is a masterclass in highly polished, harmony-driven AOR. 'Runaway' features lush, West Coast production, shimmering keyboards, and slick, romantic vocal performances targeted straight at adult contemporary radio. Despite its pristine execution and major-label backing, it failed to break the band into the mainstream.
