The Runaways carried the banner for teenage rockers in the late 70s. They dealt with things teenagers should never have to be exposed to, and 25 years after their debut album, continue to hold a captivated cult following in the palms of their hands. The years of dealing with critics, drugs, sex and heartache, combined with platinum albums and worldwide exposure, caused a whirlwind of confusion, good times and bad. But The Runaways are still here and forging ahead as solo artists and industry professionals when many may have fallen apart. They've reached icon status to their loyal fans as a group and as individuals. Today The Runaways are living life like only they can, dealing with their experiences and each, in her own way, coming to terms with her legacy.
This site was created to honor the legacy of a band that inspired male and female musicians and fans alike. We hope you can use it to reaffirm your love of the band or inspire new fans to understand the music and story that could only belong to The Runaways.
