I really like the cd. I knew a few songs before I bought it and the others are catchy. "We've Only Just Begun" is amazing and the reason I purchased it in the first place.

relient k and anberlin got together, had a baby, and named it run kid run. fantastic use of the stop and go guitars. the chords they use aren't the standard power chords and most points and that's refreshing. super catchy, you'll want to bounce around when listening to it.

Run Kid Run are not the most original band out there. OKAY!

Good, now that we've taken care of the haters, lets show some love!!

I first heard Run Kid Run on purevolume, a site I don't frequent, but end up on every now and then looking for new bands. Their song "sing to me" just caught my ear and I couldn't get enough! I ran out and bought the CD, and I must say I'm very pleased.

There are only 10 songs here, but 9 of them are really good, so "This Is Who We Are" is listenable the entire way through. The only song I don't like is "I'll forever sing". It's pretty weak. Other than that, "This Is Who We Are" is great!

If you like good pop-punk or pop-rock, you'll like Run Kid Run!

When I picked this cd up at my local Christian bookstore, I had heard very few of Run Kid Run's songs. As I started to listen to the cd, I was expecting to be surprized by how good they were. As it was, I was slightly disappointed. This band is nothing new. They combine Relient K's music with vocals from Green Day, Hawk Nelson, Olivia the Band and Relient K. That's it. All of the songs sound the same, and nothing stands out. The one song I like Is Wake Up, Get Out. Over all, This Is Who We Are is not worth the 14 bucks I paid for it.

At first listen, I wasn't at all impressed with Run Kid Run, or their debut "This Is Who We Are". The only song I liked was "sing to me". After a couple more listens, I started to change my views. I still don't think Kid is the most original in the pop-punk bunch (I'd take Cartel or Relient K over Kid anyday), but they are fun to listen to. I've never been a fan of James Paul Wisner, mainly because I don't like most of the bands' he produces, but I'll admit that he did do right by Kid. The production, from a sonic point of view, is flawless. As per custom with any Wisner release, be perpared to hear the best material early on, and the b-side material late in the game. God knows why every record he does slows down towards the end, but they do.

Overall, I do recommend "This Is Who We Are" to pop-punk fans looking for 10 more songs to dance them into summer. Try it, and you'll probably like it.
