The Runaways were an American all-female rock band formed in 1975 in Los Angeles, California. The group was made up of vocalist Cherie Currie, lead guitarist Lita Ford, rhythm guitarist Joan Jett, bassist Jackie Fox, and drummer Sandy West. The Runaways were one of the first successful all-female rock bands and gained a cult following with their energetic live performances and catchy, rebellious anthems. They released four studio albums between 1976 and 1979, and had several hit singles, including "Cherry Bomb," "Queens of Noise," and "Hollywood." The band faced significant challenges due to their young age and gender in a male-dominated industry, and eventually disbanded in 1979. Despite their relatively short career, the Runaways have been influential in the development of punk and hard rock music, and have inspired many other female musicians.
