AMAZING 15 AND 17 YEAR OLD ROCK PHENOMS STAND UP FOR THIER FREEDOM IN NEW SONG 'BATTLEFIELD' 

Brothers Collin and Stuart Blount of the band Runaway Hudson began playing music together as young boys bringing their cello and bass into the kitchen of their house for “kitchen concerts.” Collin’s love for the drums took precedence over the cello when he got his first drum set at age 10. Stuart soon followed suit with his love for the guitar at age 9. Their “kitchen concerts” took on a new level of decibel and were rapidly relocated to the basement.

They began recording as Runaway Hudson at Subcat Studios in Skaneateles, NY at the ages of 15 and 17. The first song on the CD, Battlefield, was the beginning of a three-year project that they worked on while completing high school. Battlefield is a song about standing up for what you believe in. They also worked for their father’s business to earn money to pay for their endeavor.

Collin and Stuart were homeschooled, and one of their favorite studies in history was WWII, which was the inspiration for two of the songs on the CD, See You Soon, and Off To War. Off To War’s inspiration was a book written by a marine who fought on Iwo Jima. The song has an authentic 1940’s sound with expert guitar riffs and beautiful backing vocals.

Two other songs on the CD were a collaboration with a fellow homeschooled friend from Texas who wrote, Just Like In The Movies, and Dance Floor, and then came to Skaneateles, NY to record them with Runaway Hudson.

The boys sister, Alyssa, a classically trained violinist, performed on two recordings making it a true family affair.

Collin and Stuart’s desire to write and record upbeat, meaningful music that people of all ages can enjoy has resulted in their self-titled CD, Runaway Hudson, with a variety and flavor bound to catch you humming or singing along. There is truly something for everyone on the recordings.
