Side Walk Slam was an American three-piece punk rock band, that would later form the band Run Kid Run. The band formed in Southern Illinois in a thriving local punk scene. Originally signed to Boot to Head Records, the band was later picked up by Seattle's Tooth and Nail Records. The band is named after the professional wrestling move of the same name.

History

Side Walk Slam began playing together around 1996, and began touring as a band in 1998. In 1999 they self-released their first album, Rock Anthems From The Midwest. In 2000, the band signed with Boot to Head Records and released 2 Steps Forward, 5 Steps Back. In July of that year, the band was set to tour with Kokomo, Indiana's Calibretto 13, who had recently been signed to Tooth and Nail Records. Side Walk Slam asked Calibretto to play a ten minute set at the beginning of Calibretto's Cornerstone Music Festival set. While the band played, Brandon Ebel of Tooth and Nail Records watched them from backstage, and signed them to Tooth and Nail."CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE - SIDE WALK SLAM / RUN KID RUN". labeledpodcast.com (Podcast).
