"I think so. I heard about these people on myspace, and I only heard one song and I was hooked.
All their songs are uplifting, and very infectious. You can't stop listening to it.
No further explaination but perfect 10/10 on every song."
Solid album!!

"What a wonderful recording! One of the best to be released so far this year. I can't get it out of my cd player! This is "feel good" music, but not in a cheesy way. Good, up-beat pop rock. It's a nice cross between Anberlin's vocals, and Relient K's hooks, and lyrics that have a great message. You'll want to be singing along! Definitely check this out!"
Wow.

"What can I say? These guys just keep getting better and better. I wondered whether they would be able to top Side Walk Slam's "...And We Drive," but now that they've reinvented themselves as "Run Kid Run" they're pumping out the hooks like nobody's business. This album is a punk masterpiece through and through. There aren't just a few good tunes on here-- ALL of the songs are hit worthy. Not only that, but the lyrics are clever, authentic and meaningful (unlike many pop-punk acts out there). David (Josiah) is really reaching his vocal potential on here, the harmonies are great, and the production is disgustingly awesome.
If you like the genre, you can't go wrong with Run Kid Run. Even if you're not into punk, give it a shot-- because this is an example of the genre at its finest."
Yes.

"relient k and anberlin got together, had a baby, and named it run kid run. fantastic use of the stop and go guitars. the chords they use aren't the standard power chords and most points and that's refreshing. super catchy, you'll want to bounce around when listening to it."
A very fun pop-punk cd!

"Run Kid Run are not the most original band out there. OKAY!
Good, now that we've taken care of the haters, lets show some love!!
I first heard Run Kid Run on purevolume, a site I don't frequent, but end up on every now and then looking for new bands. Their song "sing to me" just caught my ear and I couldn't get enough! I ran out and bought the CD, and I must say I'm very pleased.
There are only 10 songs here, but 9 of them are really good, so "This Is Who We Are" is listenable the entire way through. The only song I don't like is "I'll forever sing". It's pretty weak. Other than that, "This Is Who We Are" is great!
If you like good pop-punk or pop-rock, you'll like Run Kid Run!
