The band began touring but faced a lineup change early on. Founding member, Mike LaChance, formed Rockfield Productions in 2006 and headed into the studio to begin work on a second album. In December of 2006 bassist Darren Mercier joined the band. Music from Run's 1st album The Itis was used in several episodes of Mtv's Road Rules in 2007 as the band was finishing up studio work on their 2007 album release The Bitter End. Several interim drummers (Trevor Faris - We Shot The Moon, Andre Tangaretti - Plastick, Addie Roncal - Addie & The Sad Robots, Marshall Harrod - Zerofixx) kept the project going until July of 2008. Mike LaChance (vocals/guitar) and Darren Mercier (bass/vocals) found themselves out on the road with shows booked, and no drummer to play them. They knew that they needed a professional to complete the formation. After about a month of holding auditions in their Los Angeles studio, Maxx Zinno (originally from Pulse Ultra and Rise Electric) joined the band.
