Not many people can boast of releasing three singles before their GCSEs are done. Well alright, they don't have GCSEs in Sweden - but Those Dancing Days are an-all girl group who are still at school.

It sounds like they're having a ball, too, as Run Run is an uptempo piece of pop that breezes on by with a carefree attitude that acquires some depth in an increasingly catchy chorus. "Kill flowers in someone's garden, I don't care" it sings, sounding like a much younger Pretenders over an accompaniment of jangly guitars and enthusiastic drum fills.

Some nice harmonies in the background could do with being more upfront, as they add a lot to an upbeat piece of music. Once this outfit pass their exams they can have a ball with the album and raucous B-side Home Sweet Home indicates they will.
