Morning Runner have split up.
The band announced the split on their Myspace page, blaming the decision on excess pressure from their record label, Parlophone, to make a commercially viable second album.
"The first record was a relative commercial failure and heaped pressure on us to have a follow up hit record. We tried to ignore this and write the songs that we wanted. However, having been encouraged by the label to go away and experiment, they made a U-turn and decided that the music wasn't commercially viable."
"We had a couple of days apart to think through what we wanted to do next. When we came to sit down and talk about stuff, Tom [Derrett, bass] and Fields [drums] came to the decision that they'd had enough.
"This wasn't what Matt [Greener, vocals] and Ali [Clewer, drums] wanted particularly, but obviously they respect their decision and came to the agreement that with the loss of Tom and Fields they should call it a day."
