Run For Cover Records

Run For Cover Records is an independent record label based in Boston, MA. Founded in 2004 by a2622692, the label has become known for its diverse roster of talented artists and commitment to supporting underground music.

With Tom Chiari at the helm as label manager, Run For Cover Records has established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. The label prides itself on discovering and nurturing emerging talent, providing them with a platform to showcase their unique sound.

From punk rock to indie pop, Run For Cover Records offers a wide range of genres for music lovers to explore. With an impressive catalog of releases and a reputation for quality, this label continues to make waves in the e-commerce world of music.

Since first meeting as midwestern high-schoolers in 2009, Citizen have emerged as one of the most promising young bands in the alternative underground today. The band signed to Run For Cover Records in early 2012, releasing their EP Young States that year as well as a split with labelmates Turnover.
In February of 2013, Citizen entered Studio 4 with producer Will Yip to record Youth, their debut full-length. From the first note of album opener "Roam The Room", the fuzzy, guitar-driven rock songs bleed emotion straight through to closer "Drawn Out".
Citizen have called on the ghosts of Brand New and early Nirvana, creating a sound that is familiar but immediately all its own.

Newest Listed Items

Calling the Dogs is an album that opens looking inward and closes looking outward. It’s an album that considers the people we become as a result of the people that surround us. It marks a new era of the band not only in personnel, but also breathes new air thematically. It’s a record of self reflection, as well as one that exercises anger in a matter more direct than ever before.

Channeling artists like the Ramones, Violent Femmes and Bloc Party, Calling the Dogs feels like a new chapter for Citizen. Songs like opener “Headtrip” and lead single ‘If You’re Lonely” grip like signature Citizen songs infused with a new energy and infectiousness by producer Rob Schnapf. Like their 2021 album Life In Your Glass World, there’s a clear influence of NYC garage rock revival on songs like “Hyper Trophy” and the groovy “Can’t Take It Slow.”

But Citizen is never lets a single mood stay for too long on Calling the Dogs - across the record there are moments of pop bliss, punk aggression and standard Citizen meloncholy. Drawing upon their personal experiences and collective musical prowess, Citizen has crafted a record that pushes boundaries and challenges the listener to explore their own emotional landscapes.
