Morning Runner Debut Ep Release, Full Uk Tour And Coldplay Support Morning Runner release their debut EP entitled ‘Drawing Shapes’ on May 23 rd.

“I’d had a funny weekend,” remembers singer/guitarist Matthew of the inspiration for their EP title. “I was tired and you notice things that you don’t normally notice… I realised that everything was generally a square or a circle. And when you see the blueprints for a building or whatever, they’re always made of lots of little boxes. This is our first EP, it’s us drawing shapes.”

Formed in Reading shortly after the turn of the century, Matthew bonded with Tom (bass) and Ali (drums) with an aim to write and perform great songs far beyond their ability and to have a laugh in the process.

The music that resulted became both big-hearted and brash; the four members drawing on influences from their love of Radiohead, the Strokes, Cat Power, Elbow and Grandaddy The result is that rarest of things; a band to touch your body, your brain ‘and’ your soul.

They sent their first demo out to Manchester label Faith & Hope via their friend Dan Cowley, who records for the label as National Forest. “We sent one demo to Danny and he gave it to Tom Campion at the label and after four gigs, somebody came down to see us,” remembers Ali, “ It was all pretty weird”

But their greenness was rewarded by the charmed lives of the exceptionally talented, and it turned out that was all they needed; F&H loved it and in summer 2004 they released a Ltd 7” Double ‘a’ side ‘The Great Escape/Oceans, which led to their turn as the hottest new band on the A&R circuit, ‘men with bags’ flooding to their every gig, desperate for a signature.

Morning Runner chose to join kindred spirits, Radiohead, Coldplay and Athlete at Parlophone, but keen to remember where they came from by keeping a foot in Faith & Hope, creating a unique joint venture between the two imprints.

Now, after time in the studio with John Cornfield and support slots completed and in the bag with Athlete, Ian Brown, The Pogues, The Music and with Coldplay this coming summer; the band are ready to deliver and ‘Drawing Shapes’ is their calling card.
