About Me

Hello we are Run Down Door. We are a seven piece "ska pop punk" band hailing from the land of West Sussex, we draw our own various influences together to create our own mix of "Ska(pop)Punk" songs, which can sound like anything from skacore, bouncy ska pop, thrash ot pop punk. Our main priority is making music (and our shows) as fun as possible! Flying proudly under the banner "So what if we're shit" we play with only one thing in mind "fun". Since being a band we have released an ep (The Alco Dad EP) and a full length album (No Refunds) both of which are available at our live shows and through each of the band members AND hopefully soon, though the myspace too.
We have had the privilege of sharing the stage with:
Skaville UK, Catch-It Kebabs, Fandangle, Jimmy The Squirrel, Once Over, Laffin, Los Albertos, Bigtopp, Les Skalopes, (FR) Too Many Crooks, 7 Seconds Of Love, Tyrannosaurus Alan, Be My Guest, Dizzy Heights, The Resonators (AUS), Ettin, Drewvis, The Meow Meows, 2nd Time Lucky, A Man Down, Mr. Shiraz, Robolint, Fight The Bear, Weightloss, Offbeat Contingency, M*A*S*H, Death By Ska!, Used Inc, Twice The Size, Skabotage, Kill Time, The Eleven37s, The Elms, Pencil, Godforsaken, Blue Rose, Superlungs, Seero, Two Down, The Wasp Factory, Swallowing Shotguns, Jeb and others.
We are currently all over the country as we're at university but we play as many shows as often as possible.We like gigs, so if you need a band for a show in your local pub, bingo hall, discotheque, retirement home etc message us and we'll play it.Peace, Love and Respect always.

Sounds Like: Run Down Door "pop punk ska"

"A bouncy vibrant 6 piece oozing potential. Mixing meaningful and politically infuriated lyrics with bouncy ska and thrash punk changes the experience completely. A great live band that love what they do and show their love, appreciation and respect of a seemingly dying genre" -- Doug, Funky Octopus Promotions

Undercover Review - Run Down Door 29th August - The Junction

"In the field using the guise of Kill Time I stuck around for the next act on stage after us, Run Down Door. The band in short are a Ska-Punk outfit armed with two guitarists, a sax player and a trumpet playing lead vocalist. I have always been somewhat skeptical of bands in this genre as it has been somewhat saturated ever since the rise of 'Reel Big Fish' and other acts like 'The Slackers' and 'The Dead 60's', however this band I was pleased to watch. They managed to keep the crowd interested and worked a few covers into the set of which i unfortunately do not know the names of. But notable original songs include 'Alco Dad' and 'Breakdown' all with great skankability. Enjoyable." -- A Waste Of Space

Alco Dad EP Comments:

"The Alco Dad ep is now certainly dated as it depicts the old style of RDD. Short, ska pop songs with great danceability. The 5 track ep consists of the first songs out of the RDD camp and it can easily be seen how the band evolved after a year together. The ep is in "chronological" order if you like, with the first song on the ep the first song the band ever wrote and the last being the last song wrote. The last two songs (Voice... and society...) are a lot more grown up and put a more mature understanding of alcoholism and voicing opinions than the earlier songs. A good effort. A full length is eagerly awaited" -- Dan, 2046 Records
