Hit & Run

Hit & Run was a 3-piece punk band from Portland, Oregon that played music heavily influenced by the melodic punk and technical skatepunk of the '90s. Hit & Run played songs that were fast, tight, hook-laden, aggressive, and melodic at times, punctuated with group shouts, powerful guitars, rapid-fire drum patterns and scrabbling bass lines. Lyrically, Hit & Run pushed toward the progressive, personal and political, but without losing a sense of humor.
