Runaways: Band
built 290 days ago
The Runaways’ final release “And Now…The Runaways” was an interesting mix of different tastes and styles of music. Jett leaned towards punk while Ford and West’s’ taste leaned towards heavy metal. Recorded in 1978 and then released in 1979, it would be the last album recorded by the band. It was a combination of personal and musical differences that would end the now legendary Runaways. Today, nearly 30 years later, The Runaways continue to boast a strong and supportive fan base and may finally be getting some of the recognition they've always deserved.

Except in Japan, the Runaways never made any real commercial inroads. Many saw them as inept puppets — merely another Fowley hype — and refused to take the music seriously. Waitin' for the Night did nothing to alter that. The album came out just as modern-day punk was emerging, and Jett (if not the rest of the band) readily latched onto the scene to the extent that Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols contributed one song ("Black Leather") to And Now...The Runaways. But West and guitarist Lita Ford wanted to go in a more heavy metal direction, and the album would prove to be their last.
