Middle Distance Runner
Washington DC's indie rock band Middle Distance Runner are on a short East Coast jaunt this week and are in town this week. (Catch them at TT the Bears in Cambridge on Wednesday night in support of Elliott Brood.) The Sun & Earth is the new album, and a very solid sophomore effort out just this week on Engine Room Recordings. The album is an exploration of the band's influences and varied direction. One this is clear, rhythm, piano and guitar are key players. From guitar rock, to indie pop, to soul, the band works their roots on this one. Middle Distance Runner are Stephen Kilroy (lead vocal, guitar, keyboard), Allan Chappelear (lead guitar, keyboard), Erik Dean (drums), Jay Smith (guitar, keyboard, vocals) and Tony Acampora (bass, vocals.)

Less than 12 Hours after this piece first ran, Middle Distance Runner canceled its November 2009 dates due to two band member fighting confirmed cases of H1N1... Yikes. We wish 'em well. Next time!
