Classified Frequency Shares Power Pop New Single and Video
The band is back with "Can't Run Away," Out Today

Classified Frequency is back in action this year with their latest single and video for “Can’t Run Away,” which debuts today via all digital outlets. “Can’t Run Away,” is a prominent step in the band’s already notable career as they take everything to the next level. The video is skillfully crafted in black and white as it captures the spirit of their performance and overall essence of the band.
“The song is about a complicated relationship that you know you should walk away from but you can't because you're hoping things will work out or you care about that person so much, you'll be there even if they break your heart. The video is obviously a performance video but also the first time we are able to get together and play since the Covid-19 pandemic.” - Classified Frequency
