Run River North, formerly known as Monsters Calling Home, is a Korean-American indie folk-rock band from Los Angeles, California.

The band formed in 2011. Its early works were inspired by the band members' Asian-American parents' background. The band performed at venues across Southern California, including Super Concert, the DRIP coffeeshop in Los Angeles' Koreatown, and the Kollaboration 11 competition at the Nokia Theatre on December 5, 2011.

Because the band recorded a music video in the band members' Honda cars, the car company secretly booked the band for a gig on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on September 18, 2012, and recorded the surprise as an ad.

The band released their self-titled, debut album, "Run River North" on February 25, 2014

The second studio album is Drinking from a Salt Pond.

The band was the featured musical guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers on April 26, 2016, performing the song "Run or Hide". In the spring of the same year, the band embarked on a headlining North American tour with The Wild Reeds. In fall, the band opened with Irontom for Finish Ticket's fall tour.

In early 2017, drummer John Chong announced his departure from the band. The band embarked on a headlining tour with Cobi in spring of the same year. In summer of 2017, the band opened for Rooney on their North American tour.
