This Is Where You Run are a hardcore metalcore band that formed in 2009. The band is currently not signed to any record label. The band has since released one single and plan to release an EP in July 2011.

Formation (2009)
This Is Where You Run was founded in 2009 in Herscher, Illinois, as a punk rock band called The Dunkirk Escape, however a few months after their conception they changed their entire musical direction from punk rock to metalcore. Having initiated such a change, members Nick Bosman and Brad Ducat decided to part with the band making way for Jim Ulrich and Dylan Netherton on rhythm and lead guitar.

They eventually opened for bands such as Us, From Outside, Memphis May Fire, Too Late the Hero, and This Romantic Tragedy.

They are widely thought to be a Christian band, but this is controversial due to the band's use of profanity and suggestive lyrics in their songs.

They quickly became locally popular on the Internet through MySpace and Facebook.

The band originally had two names in the works, they being "Protect Your Blood" or "With Swords Drawn" however as sort of a tie breaker, former member Nic Hayden came up with "This Is Where You Run" jokingly as sort of a tie-breaker but the name stuck.

Single/Somnambulant EP' (2011)
In early 2011, the group's desire to get signed had caused the band to grow to much more than just a hobby and they began putting in work for the start of their EP.

They released their first single, "When The Dead Take Over" on March, 2011; and posted it to their Facebook the day they received the master copy.

They played "Another Hole in the Wall" in Steger, IL on April 9th, 2011 opening for Us, From Outside and Memphis May Fire.

In July 2011 the band recorded their first EP entitled "Somnambulant" which was set to be released in October, but due to certain conflicts within the band the release was pushed to January 2012. The EP has been released via iTunes and is currently available for purchase.

(2011 to present)
On April 10th, 2011, Jim, then rhythm guitarist, quit the band. Jim stated that "I have left TIWYR due to my own personal reasons having nothing to do with anyone in the band personally, it just seems I don't have time for it anymore. The guys are all brothers to me however my heart was not in it anymore. I thank you all for all the love and support and I wish you all the best." Taking Jim's place is rhythm guitarist Brad Perry.

This Is Where You Run will be participating in the 2011 Vans Warped Tour Battle of the Bands.
