Run Remedy is the musical project of Robin Koob – self-proclaimed Jersey trash and Manchester ‘string-slut’. Robin’s particular flavour of Americana is laced with equal parts grief and fun-loving irony, exploring the complexities of familial rejection, patriotism, and living in the shadows of clichés. It offers a “moving, melancholic” (BBC Radio Kent) experience reminiscent of artists like Julia Jacklin, Fiona Apple, and Andy Shauf. With a penchant for both candour and wisecracks, her songs speak to empathetic listeners who, as Robin explains, “enjoy a cheesy joke as much as a good cry.”
