Farline set to release long-lost single 'Running Blind' on Sept. 1

Farline will release “Running Blind” on Sept. 1, completing a song first written in 1992 and newly mixed by Tom Lord-Alge. The reunited rock band says the track and its video bring closure to a decades-old creative chapter while signaling the next phase of its comeback.

Why it matters: - Farline is turning an unfinished 1992 song into a new release, showing how legacy material can become part of a modern comeback. - The single adds momentum to the reunited band’s return after its debut track “Going Home” picked up international radio play and growing streaming audiences. - The release also puts a three-time GRAMMY-winning engineer, Tom Lord-Alge, on the record, which raises the profile of the project.

What happened: - Farline announced “Running Blind” for worldwide release on Sept. 1 across all major streaming platforms. - The song was first written in 1992 and originally captured on a basement tape. - The recording was mixed by Tom Lord-Alge, whose credits include U2, Dave Matthews Band, Blink-182, Santana and Steve Winwood. - The official music video will premiere with the single release. - Fans can pre-save the song now through the pre-save link.

The details: - “Running Blind” blends Farline’s classic rock roots with a modern rock sound, built around soaring guitars, cinematic production and an anthemic chorus. - The video combines band performance footage with aviation imagery tied to the song’s themes of determination, resilience and pushing forward through uncertainty. - Guitarist Mike Wright said finding the original tapes felt like “unfinished business,” and described recording the song as completing something the band started decades earlier. - Drummer Rich Snowden said the band’s early jam sessions shaped how the members learned to bring ideas to life, with his notebooks full of lyrics and Wright bringing new riffs into rehearsal. - Co-writer Bryan Carmer said the song endured because the band was creating freely at the time, and its release now shows it stood the test of time. - Farline was originally formed in Cleveland in the early 1990s. - The original members reunited after decades apart to finish songs they began writing in their youth. - The band’s EPK, with photos, band bio, credits, video and downloadable media, is available here.

Between the lines: - Farline is leaning into nostalgia, but the production and rollout are designed to frame the music as current, not archival. - The project suggests the band sees its reunion as both a creative reset and a way to cash in on unfinished material with a built-in backstory. - Releasing a video at the same time as the single gives the track a bigger launch than a standard audio-only drop.

What's next: - “Running Blind” arrives Sept. 1. - The official video will debut the same day. - Farline is likely to keep building on the reunion story introduced by “Going Home” as it rolls out more new material.
