Joe Mungovan has got me grooving with his latest single “Runaway.” This one effortlessly blends synthy pop hooks with rock attitude. It’s a little Franz Ferdinand, a little Bloc Party, and a whole lot of fantastic.
“I once met this girl who couldn’t seem to stand still. She was always reaching for the next thing, daydreaming about our escape from our everyday lives … But the fantasy we shared was as fleeting as the girl,” Joe admitted. “‘Runaway’ is for her.”
Joe will mark the release of “Runaway” with a few New South Wales shows in the coming weeks. Catch him at the following venues:
27 March 2026 – Towradgi Beach Hotel, Dharawal Country/Towradgi (FREE – full band)
4 April 2026 – Sunset Sessions @ Cockatoo Island, Eora/Sydney (solo)
17 April 2026 – Chuck Trailers, Eora/Sydney (FREE – full band)
