Comprised of musicians from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette, the original lineup consisted of guitarist Eric Dills, drummer/vocalist Chad Favre, guitarist/keyboardist Garrett Morley, and bassist/keyboardist Ian Stanford, with Chad Viator later replacing Morley on guitar.

The band toured in support of the album and soon began writing for a new record. In June 2005, and with the help of producer Andy Baker (known for his work with Maserati, The Mercury Program, and Japancakes), the four finished their follow-up record An August Golf.
Always the Runner parted ways in 2007 after drummer Favre left Louisiana to complete a master's degree. Members are now involved in parallelllines and Arbor Vitae.
