09 Nov 2026

Running Blue have released the official music video for “Circles”, a compelling production that brings together atmospheric synth-pop, introspective songwriting and a distinctive indie-rock edge. Exploring the complexities of romance, second-guessing and the recurring patterns of memory, the song captures the emotional tension of holding on, questioning relationships and finding a way forward. The accompanying music video adds a visual dimension to these themes, reflecting the track’s mood and expressive musical character.

At the heart of Running Blue are Damien Reilly, Gabe Rizza, and Alan Kennedy, whose combined creative vision continues to shape the band’s evolving musical identity. Drawing on the melodic character of 1980s alternative music while embracing contemporary production, Running Blue delivers a distinctive sound that balances nostalgic influences with fresh musical energy.

Running Blue’s musical roots stretch back to Sydney in 1982, when Alan Kennedy and Damien Reilly first began writing and rehearsing together after leaving school. Emerging from the city’s vibrant live music scene, the band developed a sound influenced by iconic alternative acts including The Cure, Spandau Ballet and The Smiths. These early influences helped establish the band’s musical character, combining post-punk elements, expressive vocals, atmospheric arrangements and memorable melodies.

With “Circles”, Running Blue continues to build on this musical foundation, bringing together engaging melodies, thoughtful lyrics and a driving instrumental sound. The record showcases the band’s ability to connect the distinctive spirit of classic alternative music with a polished contemporary approach. The accompanying video further strengthens the release, giving the song a compelling visual identity and introducing its musical character to a wider audience.

The release adds another chapter to Running Blue’s growing catalogue with Blue Pie Records USA and Blue Pie Publishing USA. Through the ongoing support of Blue Pie Productions USA LLC, Ordior and Ordior Media, the band’s music continues to reach international audiences across digital platforms, bringing Running Blue’s distinctive sound to listeners worldwide.
