Assembly Now

Assembly Now

Assembly Now + The Runners at Night and Day

The Runners make an outstanding start to a charmingly infectious night of indie anthems. New single, Get In Line, is a perfectly crafted chunk of guitar pop; so seriously contagious, you may need a medicinal cure.

Failing that, secure your sanity with dancing – it’s the only way you’ll make it out alive.

The Runners

Blending set to set as though they were specially designed to play together, Assembly Now follow suit, yet leave the crowd in a somewhat of a frustrated state.

Totally unpretentious, they prove capable of producing more bursts of glorious grit pop in a half hour set than the majority of indie darlings can attempt to churn out in a career. So, why do they remain without a permanent label behind them?

Their slightly disjointed brand of indie rock n roll storms the stage with punk liberation, ensuring It’s Magnetic remains a firm favourite, much to the joy of those that have ventured out on a Monday.

If they don’t get signed in the coming months, one can only imagine a large segment of A&R folk have been struck down with a synchronized eye/ear infection and then retreated to a mystery island. Music types, sort it out!
