About the Band:
The Race is an indie rock band formed in 2004 in Reading, UK. Likened to bands such as U2 and Arcade Fire by music magazines the New Musical Express, Drowned In Sound and The Fly, the band released their first long-playing album in 2006 through Shifty Disco Records (home to Young Knives, Paperlung et al). Following the album release, the band toured heavily - including residencies at Club NME, as well as appearances at Truck Festival and Reading Festival.
In January 2007, the band recorded a session for Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1) at the Maida Vale Studios. The band already had secured radio airplay, having previously performed a session for XFM in June 2005.
The band's second album, In My Head It Works, is due to be release in 2008. Marketing for the record includes a "Pass It On" campaign - a chain letter-style process that distributes promotional copies of the album across the country.
