Media Raves! Middle Distance Runner

“a brilliant collection of shiny, compact jewels”
“If you don’t like pop, Middle Distance Runner might just change your mind.”
“full of elastic creativity that plays off accepted idioms with an ease and fluency that most bands would kill for” — QRO Magazine (8.0 REVIEW of The Sun & Earth)

“insanely catchy rockers” — SPIN

“Middle Distance Runner could be on the verge of something big.” — Paste

“If you like … OK Go, Franz Ferdinand, good times… Try Middle Distance Runner, a band from DC that specializes in feel-good pop music. I feel like they’re one song on The OC away from the big time…” — USA TODAY

“MDR’s sound clearly draws on mid-’90s British rock — think pre-OK Computer Radiohead, Blur, Oasis — and exudes a confidence and professionalism that many young bands lack.” — Washington Post

“MDR are a very prolific, focused and driven band. With their crafted sound still sharp and full of energy, audiences are sure to be pleased…” — Aquarian Arts Weekly

“MDR are my ultimate get-ready-for-the-the-night-after-a-grueling-day-of-negotiating-page-placement…” — Alternative Press (Scan)

“Wedding the pneumatic rock of the Strokes to the panoramic pop of Blur and the Killers, they don’t actually reside anywhere near the middle. They sorta blow it up instead.” — RCRD LBL

“…listen, as both Middle Distance Runner and the inevitable seasons, start to change.” — FILTER Magazine (February, 2009
