Based in Harrogate North Yorkshire, The Running Free are an Alternative / Indie band
who deliver energetic & cathartic anthems with infuences from rock & pop punk.
Started by lead singer and guitarist Dave Norris in early 2020. With the help of
Homefre Recording Co, The Running Free released 4 singles in a 12 month period,
accumulating to over 70,000 streams on Spotify, positive press reviews and being
featured on BBC Introducing, as well as BBC's 'Whats the Story?' segment.
The band began performing live in 2021, when Dave joined forces with twin brother
Chris Norris (Bass) and Thom Gardener (Drums). A few months later, lead guitarist
Rory Marsland-Smith was brought in to the fold. With a complete line up, the band
began to make a name for themselves as a live band, performing shows throughout
the north, including Leeds and Manchester.
