Running Man by Derek Davis (Apocalypse Records)

Running Man by Derek Davis (Apocalypse Records)

In addition to the legendary Babylon A.D., Derek Davis has always unveiled some very compelling solo endeavors, the latest single being the superbly funky grooves of Running Man. The song channels the tension, urgency, and raw emotion of people who feel overlooked in a rapidly shifting world. Through vivid, cinematic storytelling, it digs into the rise of AI, the widening political rifts, and the way those forces shape our daily lives. At its heart, Running Man is a full‑throttle rock anthem—driven by a propulsive, funk‑tinged bass groove and scorching guitar lines, with hooks that hit hard from start to finish.

Davis sounds energized and fully in command here, delivering a performance that feels both timely and timeless. There’s a swagger to the track that reminds you why he’s remained such a magnetic presence in rock for decades. If this is a sample of what’s to come for the next Derek Davis album, count me way in!
