The anti-homophobia song Run For Your Life combines the British influenced Indie Rock of Hallam London’s upcoming album with Synth Pop for the dancefloor. The song is a sarcastic take on the common homophobic claim that sharing rights means dividing them. Hallam wrote it in anger after the umpteenth repeat of the perennial debate about marriage equality. Producer Dave Sanderson (Reverend and the Makers, 65daysofstatic) from Sheffield ingeniously unearthed the song’s musical essence as a danceable indie track.
