Winter seems to have arrived early, but Jack Runaway has warmed my heart with their brand new single “Never Know.” It’s an incredible slice of blues-rock with plenty of grit and soul.
“What started out as a simple jam during rehearsal naturally developed into a track that at first was mostly an opportunity for us to get super loud and have some fun on stage,” explained frontman Christopher Hoskin. “Lyrically the song is about lust. Meeting someone that you’re vibing and riding out the night with without knowing where and when it will end up. At the time of writing I was just out of a relationship and diving head first into the wonderfully scary world of modern dating. The song is also a throwback to a time and place where dating was about spontaneity and not yet ruled by apps and media. I’m an old soul at heart and Never Know in a way is my rugged and romantic ballad for all.”
“Never Know” gives us our first taste of Jack Runaway’s new EP, due out this winter. Hometown fans will get a sneaky listen to more new material when the band launches their new single at Perth’s Bar 459 this Saturday, June 1.
