Hailing from the humid rock-and-roll heart of Brisbane, RUNT is the creative brainchild of Jesse Attard. At just 29, Attard has already lived a lifetime on the road, having shredded across the UK and Europe as a high-octane "gun for hire" guitarist for major international acts. But while he was playing other people’s hits, he was secretly harbouring a massive catalogue of his own visceral, heavy-hitting material. Driven by a lifelong passion for original composition, Jesse spent years refining a vault of songs that were finally ready to see the light of day. The mission was simple: find the cream of the crop to bring the noise. By hand-picking the most formidable "like-minded musos" in the scene, the lineup was forged: Jesse Attard [Lead Vocal/ Guitar] John Dempsey (Rhythm/Backing Vocals), Damian Bell (Bass), and Robbie Wheeler (Drums). RUNT’s sound is a rare beast—hard to pin down, yet instantly familiar. Imagine the brooding, tectonic-plate-shifting power of Alice in Chains and Soundgarden fused with the melodic, anthemic hooks of Stone Temple Pilots. It is heavy music with a heartbeat; powerful, catchy, and undeniably memorable. While their recordings are a masterclass in production, RUNT live is a different animal altogether. In a 40-minute set, they specialize in conversion therapy: taking an "arms-folded" skeptic and turning them into a lifelong, head-banging devotee by the final chord. The world is about to hear what Brisbane already knows—RUNT is coming for the throne
