In the near decade since three Melbourne high school friends formed a band inspired by such teenage heroes as the Smashing Pumpkins and Sonic Youth, ART OF FIGHTING have become one of the most respected and admired independent bands in Australia, with a growing international following, a rich and complex back catalogue and an irresistible air of dignity and grace. Moving on from their delicately controlled sophomore album 'Second Storey', Melbourne quartet Art of Fighting return with their beautifully intuitive third, 'Runaways'. Described by the band's front man, Ollie Browne, as "open and relaxed", the songs captured on Runaways are a mix of introspective 'Sycamore & Sand', playful, romantic 'Less than an Instant' insightful 'Distance as Virtue and brutally honest 'Mysteries'.

“Just like Second Storey was a response to Wires, this one’s a response to Second Storey,” explains Art Of Fighting’s vocalist Ollie Browne, discussing how each previous album from the Melbourne four-piece has ultimately helped define the next. “Second Storey was a very considered album, we spent a lot of time arranging the parts, and when recording, adding lots of textural overdubs and little extras. As a response, we wanted this one to be far more impulsive, almost as if the songs were controlling us, not the other way round. Sometimes you can get more honest results in music when you surrender your objectivity over it.

The result is Runaways, the band’s third album, due for release on March 10. Recorded in their hometown – first at Guruland, a large warehouse space above an auto mechanic’s workshop in suburban Oakleigh, then Martin Street Studios, a shopfront facility in affluent Brighton where overdubs were done – in the latter half of 2006, it will further Art Of Fighting’s reputation for translating and magnifying the tender and personal.

“These new songs are far more intimate, lyrically and sonically, than those on Second Storey and we felt the music should be too,” explains Browne. “All of this is not to diss Second Storey, as we achieved what we set out to with that one, but I think with Wires, and this new one too, you can hear far more tension and release in the music, because the playing and recording is a lot more present."
