Slow Runner, an indie rock band from Charleston, South Carolina, have recently released their second album, SHIV! on Sept 9th.
Originally, this band was basically Michael Flynn (note: Collector's Edition of No Disassemble has his name instead of Slow Runner) and Josh Kaler.
I only have SHIV! for review, and I'm not sure how different their sound is compared to their debut album. The songs I liked off this album is "Lower Your Standards" (the opening song to the album), "Long Division", "Happy Ending" and "The Usual Chords".
There is a strange 50 second gap in the middle of the album, that's barely considered a song of Flynn singing "Sounds Crazy But It Just Might Work" over and over. It sounded like they were having a good drunken time at a hotel or something.
The song I've picked out to use is "Happy Ending" which has a very good intro of keyboard. The bass line is solid and I think there's even trumpets in the song. This is actually the longest song on the album.
Slow Runner is currently touring NC and SC, so if you're in those area, check them out. For even more songs see their myspace.com/slowrunner, where you can download "Deep End" for free.
PS, will be back to doing Halloween songs soon!
