Some songs don’t ask for permission—they just grab you and pull you in. “High in the Dark” is that kind of track. It’s Ridge Runners at their most electrifying, distilling the chaos and thrill of their live shows into three and a half minutes of pure energy. No overthinking, no hesitation—just a song built to be played loud.
The guitars are sharp, the rhythm section drives like a runaway train, and then there’s the synth lead—floating above it all, adding just the right touch of nostalgia without feeling stuck in the past. When Coleman Rigg delivers the chorus, “High, high in the dark“, it lands like an instant earworm, the kind that sticks with you long after the song ends. It’s got that rare mix of muscle and melody, the balance between controlled chaos and something you want to dance to.
Since 2019, Ridge Runners have been putting in the work—small clubs, raw records, songs that hit with weight. Their 2023 LP, “A Place I Thought I’d Never Be“, showed their depth, while last year’s single proved they could throw a punch. Now, with “High in the Dark“, they’re doubling down on what makes them great: high-energy, no-frills, straight-to-the-gut rock. And they’re just getting started.
