A los 15 años, Joan formó The Runaways con otras tres rapadas, Sandy West, Lita Ford y Cherie Currie. Joan cantaba, tocaba la guitarra rítmica y escribía mucho material de la banda. La banda grabó cinco LPs y giró por todo el mundo entero junto con Cheap Trick, Van Halen, Tom Petty y The Heartbreakers. Tuvieron especialmente éxito en Japón.
Mientras que The Runaways eran muy populares en Europa, Japón, Australia, Canadá y en Sudamérica, ellas no tuvieron el mismo éxito en Estados Unidos.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
