The Runaways is the debut album by the Americanrock bandthe Runaways, released on May 17, 1976, throughMercury.[1]

Background

[edit]

AllMusic praised the album (especially band membersCherie Currie,Joan Jett andLita Ford), comparing the music to material byLed Zeppelin andAerosmith.[4]

According to multiple sources, including Cherie Currie (in her memoirNeon Angel), the liner notes of the 2003Cherry Red Records reissue ofThe Runaways, andJackie Fox herself, bassistNigel Harrison played bass on the album, due to managerKim Fowley refusing to let Fox play.

The documentary filmEdgeplay: A Film About the Runaways states that the album's first track "Cherry Bomb" was written ad hoc during the audition of lead singer Cherie Currie and the title is a play on the pronunciation of Currie's first name. Currie was told to prepare aSuzi Quatro song for the audition; she picked "Fever", a song the band did not know how to play. Instead, Jett and Fowley came up with the song and had Currie sing it for her audition.

On January 5, 2009, "Cherry Bomb" was ranked 52nd onVH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs list.[15] A cover of "Cherry Bomb" is featured in themusic video gameRock Band as a downloadable single track. The song also featured in the filmsDazed and Confused,RV,Cherrybomb,The Runaways, andGuardians of the Galaxy, and is played in the opening scene ofMargaret Cho's stand-up comedy DVDI'm the One That I Want.

"You Drive Me Wild" is featured in the 2010film about the band. ActressDakota Fanning covers "Cherry Bomb" as well as "Dead End Justice" withKristen Stewart, as they portrayCherie Currie andJoan Jett, respectively.[16]
