Power pop is a genre that is deemed uncool by most music geeks. Reeking of commercialism and selling out to the Man, its players and fans are barely tolerated. Middle Distance Runner, a quintet from Washington, D.C., not a particularly cool city - have been soldiering on regardless and yes, they sold out - to Harley Davidson.
Their new album The Sun & Earth is brimming with self-confidence. And since there is not a clunker among the tracks they might land another high profile placement or two. Your in-the-know friends might pigeon-hole it as a surprisingly good indie pop album. Which it is.
Middle Distance Runner:
Stephen Kilroy - vocals, guitar
Erik Dean: drums, percussion
Allan Chappelear: guitar
Jay Smith: guitar, backing vocals
Tony Acampora: bass
