The soundtrack to the forthcoming “The Runaways” biopic has been revealed and it’s pretty much what you might expect, though that’s not a bad thing at all.
The ’70s based rock saga about Joan Jett’s all-girl teen rock band earned mixed reviews when it premiered at Sundance, though it seemed everyone agreed that Michael Shannon steals the show as the sleazebag manager/promoter Kim Fowley.
But whatever the merits of the film, the soundtrack seems like a solid evocation of the period featuring tracks by David Bowie, MC5, The Stooges, Sex Pistols and (duh) The Runaways. Dakota Fanning also gets a few solo cuts and teams up with co-star Kristen Stewart for a couple of tracks as well.
The film hits theaters on March 19th, with the soundtrack in stores a few days later on March 23rd.
