'Ain’t No Running Around It' is about realizing there’s no shortcut in life. We all face setbacks, and everyone has to put in the hard work to achieve something. There’s simply no way around that.

Watch @bertolf.bsky.social & @diederiknomden.bsky.social play the song live.

Take guilt. Take your great-grandfather's hate and taste it. It's hard to swallow. 

Junior Brother - 'Take Guilt' for @theinfluences.bsky.social

This song is part of a trilogy of videos we filmed together for The Influences, all building toward the release of Junior Brother's album "The End".

On my way to Ireland. Got the cameras through customs. See you tomorrow @kilkennyroots! Right now, I've 13 sessions planned with artists on the line up and Irish musicians. We'll see what we'll end up with. Can't wait to be back.
