The Runaways
The Runaways were far more than a teenage novelty or a provocative footnote in rock history — they were a groundbreaking all-female hard rock band that challenged gender norms at a time when rock music was overwhelmingly male-dominated. Formed in Los Angeles in 1975 by producer Kim Fowley, the band emerged from the raw energy of 1970s glam rock and proto-punk, bringing attitude, volume, and unapologetic presence to a scene that rarely made space for young women with electric guitars.New Related Media Files
