In this episode of The Adventures of Pipeman, Pipeman intervies San Francisco punk rock band Tess & The Details’ about their upcoming album Runaway, out November 14th via Double Helix Records.
The San Francisco punk record kicks off with the anthemic “Blondie’s Gonna Die,” in which buzzsaw guitars catapult the listener into the world of Tess & The Details. Tess sings with a self-assured forcefulness, “When they told me I was crazy / I should've listened / I could have just laid down / Oh the white coats are a comin’ / in straight jackets they’ll be running / all through this damn ghost town…” There's an air of anti-establishment throughout the album, as “Blondie’s Gonna Die” is followed by “Canary,” and then “Runaway,” the album’s title track. “Runaway” evokes familiar bands such as Green Day and No Doubt, showcasing Tess’s powerful voice as she belts the rousing chant.
There is a “runaway” record release show at bottom of the hill in San Francisco, CA on 12.15.23
“There are a lot of character-driven songs where we took some of our experiences and filtered them through characters, like ‘Saint of Purgatory’ and ‘Johnny’,” Tess describes. “We wanted to tell stories that could feel familiar to everyone, but through a witty and dark lyrical lens - like the catchy and melodically light take on mental torture in ‘Mania.’” Runaway is full of contradictions, reflecting that humanity also embodies such dualities.
Punksite said, “Runaway is a smorgasbord of punk rock, Tess & The Details have carefully selected the best elements from the last few decades and served it up with their own distinct twist. It must be said that Tess Stevens vocals are sublime, for me they are up there with Millie Manders (Millie Manders & The Shut Up) and Hanne Terweduwe (For I Am), and if you’re a fan of either of those two bands then just order this, in fact just order it anyway. Tess & The Details' debut album is a thing of beauty, whilst the vocals are the obvious draw. I'm not casting any shade on The Details, as their soundtrack provides the muscle on what is one of the best debut albums you’ll hear this year.”
Tess & the Details is: Tess Stevens (lead vocals/ rhythm guitar), Gideon Berger (drums), Dustin Galecki (lead guitar), and Lawrence Hood (bass). Runaway was recorded by Tess Stevens, Jacob Light, and Gideon Berger.
