Interview: Band Of The Week - Slow Runner - Page 4

Part of: Band of the Week

Slow Runner at playYou’re not a cookie cutter band…

If we are, we’re a complete failure.

Where do you hope that SHIV! will end up?

I hope that it will end up in the CD player of a car, with a guy and a girl in it, who are looking at each other amorously while driving down the highway.

Shouldn’t they be looking at the road?

Yeah well, I hadn’t finished my analogy yet. Just as they go over the cliff and fall to their death, they look at each other and say, “God I love this CD, I’m so glad it was playing at our final moment together.”

I mean that’s what it’s all about.


If you would like to listen to a few track from SHIV! and celebrate this fabulous music you can visit Slow Runner’s MySpace space. You can also visit their own website to learn more about what makes Slow Runner tick.
