HITNRUN HAS REFORMED!

HEY ALL!

It has taken more years than I care to count. More time and sweat than we ever thought we had. But we have finally found a new lineup to carry on the name HITNRUN!

To the gentlemen that comprised the original band of brothers, we couldn't have gotten here without you and your talent. Now amazingly, we have a chance to carry on as a band once again!

It is my honor to introduce the new roster...



JEREMY AGUIAR ON BASS

Jeremy Aguiar, a veteran of the Lehigh Valley music scene, joins us on bass, bringing both his tasteful playing and strong backing vocals to HitnRun. Jeremy recently played with the alt-rock back Gifthorse and is a current member of modern hard rockers The Beautiful Distortion who were winners of the 2016 WZZO Backyard Bands Competition.














PETE FRY ON GUITAR

Pete Fry completes our twin guitar attack, bringing his fretboard talents and years of experience in the international hard rock scene to the band. Pete is a former member of Rockarma and currently plays guitar in Jaded Past and Farcry. He has shared stages with some of the biggest hard rock touring acts here in the States and performed at several European melodic hard rock festivals over the years.
























ROBERT "TEX" LAZENBERY ON DRUMS

Robert "Tex" Lazenbery is an accomplished drummer and percussion instructor over the last 25+ years. He has led both outdoor and indoor marching percussion ensembles to both regional and national championships, while also bringing the metal as the drummer in Metallica tribute act, "MetalliCON". Tex not only lays down the big grooves in HitnRun, but also adds yet another powerful voice on harmonies and backing vocals. 

So there they are my friends....a new crew to carry us into a new year....be ready for some great things to come.

Now a quick shoutout to our new rehearsal spot:

THANK YOU MELANIE FALLON!

Morning!

Yesterday we had the honor of having in my opinion one of the great rock voices of our time sing on our tracks!

Melanie Fallon http://www.fallonsreligion.com has been in the biz a long time and she kicked ass behind the mic ofcourse...The heart and professionalism she showed was as inspiring as her voice.

Her album rocks hard so do yourself a favor and pick it up:

A heartfelt thank you to Mel for taking the time to help us out!

Back in the saddle again...

Hey folks!

After the long delay i have finally gotten back behind the (very expensive) mic....Knocked the first two lead vocals out of the first two tunes for the EP.  Next are choruses and harmonies and assorted vocal flourishes.

My nerves were shot, as were my vocal cords! But with the help of about a gallon of throat coat i managed to get it done...

Jare kicked ass on the solo for the song "feel it" as you can see as well....

Kevin Soffera was just amazing as usual....really made me feel at home and helped me over my issues.


Visiting the old studio..

Morning all!

A week or so ago i had the chance to visit scenic SCRANTON PA for the first time in over two decades im guessing....

I stopped by the location of where we recorded our first demo cassette with Tom and Sound investments studio.

Such a sad thing seeing the street that it was on, a once bustling downtown location...well lol...bustling for Scranton....But now its just another dead building on a dead street with what was the most surprising thing...a dead mall....Steamtown.

Atleast the building hasnt been torn down yet.
