Florida based rock band Kings County have given new life to a song that helped define a generation by putting their own spin on A Flock of Seagulls ‘I Ran (So Far Away)’. The original was released in 1982 at the height of the MTV era and was the second single off their self titled album.
Kings County have redefined the track with an exceptional hard hitting music video and single release. The band is made up of Rob Dexter (Vocals, Bass), Steve Bell (Guitars, Vocals), Joe Lopez (Drums) and Bill Kania (Guitars, Vocals). They brought on producer Chuck Alkazian out of Pearl Sound Studios to helm the project. Alkazian is known for his work with Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, Pop Evil and on Tantric’s 2018 release Mercury Retrograde.
According to a recent press release, Dexter had this to say about the track, ‘…we teamed up with Director Adam Arnali, who mixed elements from the original A Flock of Seagulls video with a modern look and guitar-driven sound of the band, creating a darker visual experience.’
