I've just been for an AFTERNOON run (in the rain). It was very refreshing!! :P

[stevemah]

haha :)

does seem an odd name for a band,wonder why they called themselves that. anyone know?

[mc_squared]

^Well I guess they're all keen joggers!! :P

[clocks-politik]

www.myspace.com/morningrunnermusic

[RA-D]

it was just the singer's habit of jogging in the morning that gave them their name. I just saw them in Leeds a couple of days ago - they've finished up their album and it will be released in early January, preceded by a new single from it. I got a setlist signed by the band too, may be worth something come February!

[*Jess*]

I really like their new song :) :cool: and their drummer is HOT!! :wink3:

[stevemah]

thanks for the link clocks-politik

[stevemah]

just listing to a couple of live sogs which you can get off their official site

the song "can't get it right" sounds great

[RA-D]

has their album got a release date yet? I've been told Jan 7th and 17th by two different people, neither a particularly reliable information mine.

[shesawsparks]

After hearing their new single Burning Benches on the radio a few times i really like it. I've been listening to some more of their music through their website and i like it all so far. I wondered if anyone else on here liked them so i did a search and voila, i found this thread! :)

Btw their album is out on 6th March, you can preorder it from play.com. I'm very intrigued, i might give it a go when it comes out. Btw which songs would you recommend to download?

[Choldplayer]

Anyone got any of their mp3s?.They opened for CP during the summer and were pretty good,their new single Burning Beach is good also.

[Sambo3000]

I really like them....can't wait for their album! :D

Its due out soon enough, isn't it? :confused:

[shesawsparks]

I love them too, cant wait for the album either, it's out 6th March and is called Wilderness Is Paradise Now :)

You can listen to more of their tracks here on their website www.morningrunner.com. There's also clips of a lot of their songs on iTunes :)

[felicote]

can anyone post a link for burning benches. I live in the states and cant find it anywhere.

[felicote]

anyone?

[shesawsparks]

Here you go, this is Burning Benches. Hope the link works OK

[Yevgeni]

I like them too!

[Sambo3000]

Morning Runners new/debut ( i think...correct me if Im wrong) album came out on thursday. Maybe you've never heard of them, maybe you bought it. :blank:
I bought it, Its good so far, haven't listened to it all. I saw them supporting Coldplay last Summer and downloaded some of their songs, they pretty good. :D

[RA-D]

I think the last song on it is tripe but i really like the rest of the album, its short term value is very high, i'll be interested to see if it holds up in my opinions.

Reading’s Morning Runner have shuffled from music’s mortal coil.

Making an announcement via the band's MySpace, the recently-dropped Coldplay-ish indie quartet had spent the past year writing a follow-up to their 2006 debut, Wilderness Is Paradise Now. An excerpt of said message reads thusly:

“The first record was obviously a relative commercial failure and heaped pressure on us to have a follow up hit record (the nature of being signed to a major record label). We decided to try and ignore this and write the songs that we wanted and move our music on which we did succeed in doing. However having been encouraged by the label to go away and experiment with what we were doing they made a u turn and decided that the music wasn’t commercially viable and that they didn’t want to put it out.

This wasn’t really a surprise and was understandable from their point being a corporation. We had a couple of days apart to think through what we wanted to do next. When we came to sit down and talk about stuff Tom and Fields came to the decision that they’d had enough. This wasn’t what Matt and Ali wanted particularly but obviously they respect their decision and came to the agreement that with the loss of Tom and Fields they should call it a day.”

Skip to the end..

“Matt and Ali will probably go on to do other things in music so will hopefully see you again soon.”

So there.

The Reading indie types call it a day

Reading's Morning Runner, who released their debut album 'Wilderness Is Paradise Now' last year, have split up.

The band announced the split via their MySpace page, claiming that pressures from their record label, Parlophone, to make a commercially viable second album led to the split.

"The first record was a relative commercial failure and heaped pressure on us to have a follow up hit record," they wrote. "We tried to ignore this and write the songs that we wanted. However, having been encouraged by the label to go away and experiment, they made a U-turn and decided that the music wasn't commercially viable.

"We had a couple of days apart to think through what we wanted to do next. When we came to sit down and talk about stuff, Tom [Derrett, bass] and Fields [drums] came to the decision that they'd had enough.

"This wasn't what Matt [Greener, vocals] and Ali [Clewer, drums] wanted particularly, but obviously they respect their decision and came to the agreement that with the loss of Tom and Fields they should call it a day."

my god... why? i love their music

[Kite]

RIP :(

The first band I saw in 2005 :(

DAMN YOU WEE PARLOPHONE, YOU WIN THIS TIME

[mc_squared]

Well they didn't last long, did they??:stunned:
You could say they didn't stay the course, or fell at the first hurdle.................... :rolleyes:

[Kite]

Falling at the first hurdle is when you fail to release album 1.

[mc_squared]

Falling at the first hurdle is when you fail to release album 1.

Well in that case, let's make it the second, shall we??:rolleyes:

[Kite]

It sounded like the record label wanted the band to do an album which wasn't then, going for sales rather than quantity.
