Runnin' Scared is more than just a musical outlet—it's a way for two longtime friends to share their love for hardcore, stay creative, and keep doing what they've always loved: writing songs together. Though the name may be new, the faces are familiar. Ricky (drums) and Martin (handling everything else) first played together in 1997 in the short-lived band Damage I.D., and their paths have crossed ever since. Over the years, they've also been members of Solid Ground, Animal Instinct, Cataract, Liferide, MINE, and Safe State. During the winter of 2024/25, Runnin' Scared entered Studio Annemarie in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, to record six tracks with Benno Herzog behind the desk. These recordings make up the band's debut six-song 12" EP, Fever Dream, released in autumn 2025 via Demons Run Amok Records. The EP was mixed and mastered by Paul Miner. The band's name—borrowed from Breakdown's legendary demo session—offers a fitting clue to their sound. Pressed as a one-sided white vinyl edition.
