Morning Runner

The band spent much of 2005 touring, playing with the likes of Ian Brown, Bloc Party, The Magic Numbers, The Pogues, and supporting Coldplay on several of their Twisted Logic Tour dates, and built up a solid fanbase as a result.

Since their split, Morning Runner's music has continued to be used in other media, notably "Gone Up In Flames" as the theme tune for the E4 sitcom The Inbetweeners and also used on Setanta Sports coverage of the IPL, and "Burning Benches" as part of the Adidas 'Impossible is Nothing' advertising campaign.

Their debut album, Wilderness Is Paradise Now, was released shortly afterwards on March 6, 2006, and despite failing to make a significant impact commercially, it was generally critically well received.

They released one album, Wilderness Is Paradise Now, following top 20 single "Burning Benches", before their split in late 2007 due to commercial pressures from their record label, Parlophone.
