May 24, 2014

With the departure of Ronnie Ficarro of Falling in Reverse and Max Green‘s introduction as the new bassist, it just means we get to hear new music by Ronnie!

Reminds me of my favorite quote: “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Ronnie Ficarro released his song, Runaway and it is amazing!
