Unless you have been living in a rockless world you know who the Runaways are. Just in case, I’ll refresh your memory. Not only did the Runaways launch the careers of two queens of rock, Joan Jett and Lita Ford, they were probably the first girl rock band that rocked as hard as the guys. With their sass and explosive brand of rock n roll, The Runaways became an almost instant success.
The band lasted from 1975 until 1979. Despite their short lifespan, they have left a mark on music and popular culture. Take note of the movie in theaters now. (See the Runaways move trailer over here.) This photo gallery celebrates them.

Beautiful girls with a rock star voice. First ever girl rock band to make your world go crazy. The Runaways, I salute. Great photos.
Yeah great band photos you have here and I so love The Runaways..
I second that! And Joan Jet went on to become one of my heroes. I’m now learning to play the Guitar, and women like her and Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson’s guitarist) are a true inspiration to female musicians everywhere.
Wendy´s last blog ..Why are there not more women guitarists in bands?
Oh I remember them! I was pretty young but they are a legend for sure.
Thanks for all the great pics.
I agree with you its a short lifespan of this band but they had got very good success. Even today people recall their voices. People of that time was crazy about this band.

Cool photos of The Runways! I saw the movie when it came out a month or two ago. For some reason I didn’t realize how shortlived the band was, and I also didn’t realize how huge Joan Jett was when she went solo. And I had forgotten Cherie Currie was in that move Foxes, which I saw for the first time a few years ago…
