Destroy the Runner

Melodic Christian metalcore outfit Destroy the Runner, based out of San Diego, CA, became an official part of the Solid State family in June 2006. Appearing the next month at Illinois' Cornerstone Festival, the band -- singer Kyle Setter, guitarists Duane Reed and Nick Maldonado, bassist Jeremiah Crespo, and drummer Marc Kohlbry -- debuted that September with their full-length Saints. They subsequently supported the record on the road with Haste the Day, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, and more. ~ Corey Apar
