Hailing from Bristol, Rhode Island, the band RUNE initiates a new musical genre. Taking their lead from legendary groups like U2, Dave Mathews Band, and REM; RUNE blends sound like the ancient symbols of their namesake to create the magic of a thoroughly modern style. 　　 　　From original, soulful ballads to dance ready favorites, RUNE puts an electrifying spin on otherwise timeless, Celtic melodies and rock classics. 　　 　　The quartet is fronted by the singing, songwriting talent of Colby James on lead guitar and is joined by Heather Church, a tour de force on the Viper electric violin. Neil Coleman provides expert bass and Andy Tarter masters both percussion and drums to complete the foursome. 　　 　　RUNE recorded their debut CD with renowned engineer, Steve Rizzo at Stable Sound Studio in Middletown, Rhode Island, under the artistic direction of Gwen Jones, Producer; and Celia Black, Executive Producer; AlliKat Records. The album is scheduled to be released in June 2004.
