A NEW label based in Brighton, Running Club Records, has been launched. Helmed by Chris Lawson Jones, Running Club has been "created as a hub for young artists with the aim of cultivating the worship expressions emerging in the United Kingdom." The first artists on the label, which is an imprint of Integrity Music facilitated by its global team, are the critically-acclaimed Manchester band Rivers & Robots and Birmingham-based singer, songwriter and Worship Central team member Josh Gauton. Said Lawson Jones, "At Running Club, we're building a home for a group of musicians who are writing and recording songs for their community and beyond, a place where the sound of the next generation of worship can thrive. We want to get behind the developments brewing in this part of culture. . . to come alongside what they're already doing organically and provide resources and a platform to help carry their music even farther." Two singles, "Dreams" and "Satisfy", have been released by Rivers & Robots, while Josh Gauton has released the singles "Cathedral" and "Time's Not Wasted", with a third, "O, Peace", to be issued in November. CR
