MP3: Middle Distance Runner - The Sun and Earth

DC's Middle Distance Runner knows a thing or two about perseverance. After years of creating up-tempo rock tunes together, the guitar pop band is finally gaining some media traction -- you may have heard their new single "The Sun and Earth" in the trailer for Disney's upcoming flick Morning Light or in that new HBO ad. Expect a new album from these guys in 2009.

MDR will play five shows during CMJ, so there's no excuse to miss them. Dates and venues under the cut. Prepare for those shows with the band's self-titled EP, available in the LimeWire Music Store.
