Corvallis Band The Deans releases new single titled “The Runner”

Corvallis, Oregon-based band The Deans will release their new single ‘The Runner’ on 5/20/22. The song is the band’s first single since their 2021 release of the Casual Stares EP. ‘The Runner’ represents feeling torn between differing ideas in an information-overloaded world. Mixed with the fast-paced rhythm and lead singer Sean Bullock’s guttural vocals, the song’s message feels clear. However, it remains emotionally ambiguous, allowing all listeners to relate to the lyrics from their own perspectives. The Runner is available to listen to on significant streaming platforms Spotify, and Apple Music, as well as accompanied by a lyric video on Youtube. It is also available on their website, TheDeansMusic.com.

Inspired by bands from Interpol to the Strokes, ‘The Runner’ produces a unique sound that nods to these bands with a garage-rock vibe that blazes its own trail. The track begins with a drawn-out intro that seeps into a dystopian beat that is almost unexpected. Not only do the lyrics represent the struggle between different thoughts, but the instrumentals also represent the constant barrage of contrasting feelings, as well. ‘The Runner’ is just the beginning of the Deans 2022 releases, with more on the way in the coming months.

“The Deans found a niche in indie-rock that I have yet to hear reproduced,” said publicist Alissa Kobe. “‘The Runner’ is a representation of rock with a smooth, new wave feel that you can’t help but feel drawn to. The message of the track is relatable to anyone who hears it, but it will speak to something different in every listener.”
