Often dismissed during their existence as a crass marketing gimmick, the Runaways have grown in stature over the years as the first all-female band to make an impression playing loud, straight-up, guitar-driven rock & roll. Since all of the members were teenagers (some were still learning to play when they debuted), the group's music was frequently raw and amateurish, but it neatly combined heavy metal and junkshop glam with the emerging sound of punk rock. Promoter and manager Kim Fowley's insistence on a sleazy jailbait image for the group made it easy for the press to dismiss them as nothing but a tasteless adolescent fantasy. But in the end, the Runaways' sound and attitude paved the way for female artists to crank up the volume on their guitars and rock as hard as the boys with the rebel-girl manifesto "Cherry Bomb" and the albums The Runaways and Queens of Noise.
