If you can imagine a less gay Keane, a happier Coldplay a not so cheesy Embrace and a more creditable Shed 7 then thats pretty much Morning Runner. Maybe.

Stand out tracks are;

8. Be all you want me to be
6. Oceans, and the best track on the album by miles;
4. Burning Benches.

You can watch the video to Burning Benches here. It's a bit contrived but if you don't want to get up, shout, and punch the wall at precisely 2:29 into the song, you're no homosapien, mon brave.

You can watch all of the videos from their website.

N.B. I am in no way affiliated to the band, just love my music.

I'm off to see Embrace tomorrow night in Halifax. Morning Runner are supporting Embrace at some point but not sure if it's tomorrow or the forest gigs. Went to Placebo other Wednesday in Blackpool, fantastic live, and the stuff from the new album is great live too, especially Infra Red. Also booked to see Hard Fi and The Editors. Would have been going to V festival but its a month before by girlfriend is due to give birth. I wanted to see Morrissey live, missed out on Leeds Tickets unless anyone has one for sale???
