Running On Empty
Upcoming shows
None scheduled
Genre: Alternative Rock
Sound description: Our sound varies greatly from song to song, so it's difficult to describe how we sound. I would say our sound is comparable to that of Silvertide, Hinder, and bands of that nature.

History
During a somewhat impromptu trip to the drive-in theatre in Iola, Logan, Josh, Joe Mac, and I found ourselves watching a movie that none of us were particularly intrigued by. Being the ever-ready musicians we are, our cars were packed with the usual artillary. Acoustic Guitars. That night, we wrote a very punk influnced song, using some lyrics Barker had written as our inspiration. When we entered the drive-in that night, I'm not sure that any of us realized we would emerge as a band. Though we had no drummer, no PA system, and no particular idea of how to get either, we had heart and desire. It's that heart and desire that has carried us through to where we are today.
