1999 brought their heads together in Montreal; Ivan, Pierre-Luc and Chris attempted to tune. Jam time a lifestyle, mixing blends of influences we..ve all felt the impact growing up; NOFX or No Use For A Name, Runt also wanted to bring to the table its own withstanding blend of eccentric ditties, individual back-up vocals, splintering drum skills and practical lyrics in no way leaving you to cry in a corner. Best part about these dudes never too damn serious.. They took their basement creations and did their first tour set through Quebec in 2001 with Australia..s ..Ballpoint... Gear was broke, exhaust inhaled, heads were screwed Runt was in. 2002, the guys decided to arm new forces and enrolled the help of Montreal..s ..ex-Trademark.., Dave parting ways with Chris. Now stones were set, songs and tuning were done more than eating. Recognizing they needed to reach beyond in 2002 naively they packed up and headed for Europe with only their DIY attitude for means of survival, no merch, no record to sell, only their songs. Marking their bands own historical significance by touring Europe with no vehicle, they rather hauled around on trains & buses anything that would get them on time, through Italy, France and more even finding themselves, walking down foreign streets to new clubs entire drum-set in hands. Food poisoning, no showers for weeks, waking up with chickens Runt took it all in laughing their asses off, planning to return under these same circumstances again in 2004, why? Ask them... Think it..s done, another good one, 2003 they loaded up the van for 2 weeks of California sunny coast touring again with only their stickers and burnt records. But their highlight on this trip was the fact their unique van only likes propane. Well ask Runt stranded in Kansas, Wyoming, Utah and Windsor where someone is willing to pump propane in a fucking van, they..ll let you know. Regardless the shows ruled burning their asses off, digesting burritos.

  Hey all!
  After a few badly called shots, P-L and I have decided to share the studio and the stage together once again. This re-unitement was followed through because we both decided what was good for Runt in the past so in all honesty, we kind of had shit straight 4 years ago. Things haven't felt so right in a damn long time. You see, I kind of got fed up of words spoken but not meant and comments like "our guitarist has to be good looking" . These types of things never mattered to me or Runt at it's essence before, until we came across a few bad decisions and wrong circumstances. We do things the hard way, we find it way more exciting and it takes alot of self esteem but very little ego in order to get things to work out between 3 or more people. P-L and myself have played on every tour that Runt has ever played and we never had problems, until 2003. Since April that year, we had kicked out, replaced, flipped around and altered this line up too many times and the sad truth of the matter is that after all this effort, we had no results. The last time that we actually felt comfortable for more than 2 days in a row playing in this band was actually april 2003. The fact is that we founded, nurtured, created and built this band together and because of our own terrible judgement, we tore it apart (mostly mine mind you). As such, we are taking some time to heal the scars and make the music that our supportive fans deserve to have from us.
  You see, I firmly believe in all the aspects that make up a band, without one exception. As plain and as empty as it may be, as long as it is true and real and REALLY from the heart, it is a success to me. Without heart, a band (in my point of view) cannot continue honestly. Corruption such as belief in the equipment and the amount of money spent on it does not sit well with me. I have never believed and will never believe that the instrument makes the player sound good, the player makes the instrument sound good, no matter how shitty the instrument is. These are the internal problems, along with many others that we feel that you should know about because it's about time to let fact do it's job.
  Thanks for taking the time,
  Ivan
