Mumrunner deal with aesthetics from contrasting aspects of sound: sometimes abrasive alternative rock melds with dream pop soundscapes that gives the impression of being otherworldly.  ​The Tampere, Finland based band love to play loud but never forsake an interest in subtler dynamics which makes Mumrunner's ambitions unique and special.

Bond draws you in with distant strums, melodic lead lines and seductive verses. But take off comes via quiet explosions and a soaring chorus that's pervasively longing and beautiful in equal measure.

Mumrunner: Bond

Following on ​from the much loved Bond single, Mumrunner return with End, bringing a different kind of energy. Graceful urgency, dreamy vocals and a comedown chorus all lead to a massive instrumental break that tilts End to new directions. End gives us another glimpse of Mumrunner's debut EP Full Blossom. 

The five track Full Blossom is an elegant take on alternative shoegaze and shows Mumrunner's willingness to bring new ideas to the dream pop landscape- it's heavier yet lighter. The debut Mumrunner EP Full Blossom gets a worldwide digital release through Soliti on the 15th May 2015.

​"​We are eager to touch holy things. ”Speed Of Light” truly is the holiest Finnish power metal classic, and we did our best to play it as fast as we could, and here's the result."

LOVE SPORT return with a new EP, Almost Doesn't Mean You Made It, which sees a worldwide release through Soliti on the 4th Sept.2015. The new EP showcases their distinctive slacker charms and capacity to wring out melodies that not only fulfill the ear candy quotient but leaves you thrillingly engaged in the 'what happens next' department of twists and turns.

To wet your appetite before the new 6 track EP drops in full, lead single Genius ably demonstrates LOVE SPORT's talent for binding strong songwriting with angular guitar lines, oozes of atmospheric melancholy before delivering on a chorus you can sing from the rooftops. It's a promise that the standard never drops across the five other songs that make up Almost Doesn't Mean You Made It EP.

Almost Doesn't Mean You Made It EP features crisp production from bassist Aki and is adorned by a lovingly illustrated sleeve from Black Twig's bassist Kaarlo Stauffer. Handily, the band will most likely be premiering the full EP at their next show, opening for Unknown Mortal Orchestra at Tavastia, Helsinki on the the 8th September.
