Sep 9, 2013The riot godmotherrr commands pretty much the same old skinny soprano, only with soft edges that sound tender or thoughtful sometimes.
-
Sep 16, 2013It’s a more honest, human, realistic--and totally wonderful--guide to life.
-
Sep 3, 2013Even through the heavier topics of illness and recovery, a melodic sense of dance carries the message, but what delivers the punch is Hanna's voice.
-
Sep 3, 2013Despite Hanna’s avowed penchant for creative forward momentum, Run Fast’s ruminations on the past are most touching.
-
Classic Rock MagazineDec 18, 2014Art, love, personal and political ideology--all of it is delved into with gloriously unpolished gusto. [Summer 2014, p.91]
-
Oct 22, 2013Run Fast has many moments of darkness, but ultimately it’s a celebration: of growing up, of surviving, of wading through shit and coming out the other side.
-
Sep 23, 2013This is a new incarnation of The Julie Ruin, and it's still raising the goosebumps on my arms.
-
Sep 5, 2013The album contains some of her best lyrics.

-
Sep 5, 2013This is the sound of musicians confident in their legacy and what they can do with it.
-
Sep 3, 2013Maybe too spirited at times; without the madcap intensity of Hanna’s best work, too much is simply frenzied.
-
Sep 3, 2013Hanna sounds like her old fearless self.
-
Sep 3, 2013Run Fast is certainly more benevolent and interesting than the myopic records most people make post-40 about their changing place in the world.
-
Sep 3, 2013As inspirational as Bikini Kill's life-affirming blasts of punk could be, they were never as accessible and simply fun as the '80s synth pop modes of Run Fast, which somehow manage to be equal parts poetic, provocative, moving and enjoyable.
-
Sep 3, 2013The album’s 13 tracks hit some serious highs and a few middling snags, but that’s to be expected from a band’s debut, even if that band features a modern day hero like Hanna.
-
Nov 7, 2013Run Fast melanges the hit-and-run brevity of Bikini Kill ("Stop Stop") with synth sparkles lifted from her Le Tigre époque.
