The Runaways: And Now…The Runaways (Mercury)

Ian Penman, NME, 20 January 1979

THE TERMS are at once familiar and bizarre, charged with meaning and strangely vacuous: 'street,' 'action,' 'hungry and hot,' 'rock 'n' roll,' 'teenage,' 'weekend,' 'queen.' For the first time since the last time: The Runaways, and their swinging teenbeat romanticism for swinging mid-20's!!!
