Running Scared were a band from Bradford, PA, formed in 2001. They were only active for what looks like a couple years, self-releasing their sole EP in 2003. It was available on Interpunk, which looks like the only exposure the band ever got. Their sound is rough, the sound of a new band figuring things out. It leans more towards 90s pop punk than emo pop, though there's plenty of both in their makeup. The last song on the album and its namesake, "Falling Short of Summer," reveals the influence of midwest emo. I would have been interested to see what direction the band might have headed after this. I feel like they could have evolved in either the direction of midwest emo or early 2000s emo pop.
