Blind Petition's "Running Wild" captures the Austrian hard rock scene at a moment when the genre was finding its own voice beyond the dominant Anglo-American models. Released on Tonau Records in 1987, this two-track vinyl represents a band working with the raw energy and blues-rooted heaviness that defined hard rock in that era, steering clear of the glossier production trends creeping in elsewhere. The title track has that driving momentum its name promises, while "Hobo" offers a different temperament—a glimpse into the band's range and songwriting approach. If you've been exploring the regional rock catalogs of the eighties and want to hear what was happening in Vienna's clubs and studios, this is a genuine document worth hearing.
