I swear, Sleepyhead might be the most-covered song of all-time. Fortunately, every one is as good as the other. Run Toto Run is no exception. Run Toto Run - Sleepyhead (Passion Pit Cover).mp3
Sleepyhead Sundays is a weekly post dedicated to one of our favorite songs of all time: Passion Pit’s “Sleepyhead.” Each week, we will be posting a new remix of “Sleepyhead” to soundtrack your lazy Sundays. This weekend's remix is not a remix at all, but rather a cover. Still, the completely restructured sound, ridiculous fiddle melody, and plucked strings carry on the legacy of the truly unique track. MP3: Run Toto Run - "Sleepyhead (Passion Pit Cover)"
After hours of painstaking listening and deliberation some of the best music bloggers in the UK have put forward their nominations for the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition 2011, and that includes Breaking More Waves. It was incredibly difficult to decide on our final three choices from the list of 160 bands we were given to listen to, but eventually we went with our hearts choosing quite simply the music that moved us the most. We’re very pleased to announce that our top choice was the [...]
I am so out of it today.I hate gray skies and rain.Ugh i'm so ready for the nice weather to take effect.Maybe I need to look into moving somewhere tropical.I do have to admit though it could be worst.I do know that a bunch of you in the North East and Mid West have been getting pounded with snow storms.I feel for you guys.So in light of all this crappy weather we are all getting I have a nice track list that should warm us all up and let us party where ever it is that we are.Also one last [...]
Photography: Elif Sanem Karakoc It saddens me that there are people who repeatedly downrate certain posts by exploiting a weakness of the current heart system, discrediting everyone else's opinion and causing me a whole lot of trouble by having to rewrite its code. Anyway, it's only me who should worry about this, so have a nice Sunday! Update: The new system is up now, which looks exactly like the old on the outside, so you shouldn't notice anything to begin with. In case you do however, please leave me a note so [...]
In part one of our review of 2010 , we looked back on the year and had a good old moan, in part 2 we ask our music loving chums the age old question 'How was it for you?' ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ____________ LAURA BARTON : ( The Guardian, The Loose Moorelles , Author and Glasto aficionado ) [...]

Before I slip entirely into a mulled wine induced Christmas fog, here are a few gems that really should have been mentioned weeks ago! JAMES, NOEL & MITCH vs F.OLDING MUNNY I've said it before but i'll say it again, if you love music in any way, bookmark Steinski.com . You'll find a bit of politics here and there, the odd exclusive mix from the master himself, but most importantly idiosyncratic musical delights you just dont find anywhere else. Everything from Tom Lehner to Johnny [...]
I've always got my ear out for new electrobands. While Run Toto Run have been on the Manchester scene for a while and previously made quite a splash with their xylophone-containing cover of Passion Pit 's 'Sleepyhead' (watch video here ), this was my first real introduction to them: a song called 'This is a Lull', which you can listen to and download below. What I find great about this song is the contrast between the mad electronic beats and singer/songwriter Rachael Kichenside's angelic vocals. The promo video [...]
Run Toto Run is one of my favorite electro-pop acts coming out of the UK. Their latest single is much more electronic than anything they've done. Rachel's vocals still soften the song and keep the Run Toto Run magic intact, but this might be a new chapter in the RTR story. I like the machine sounds a lot. And when the breakdown happens, you just might get goosebumps. Is this the new way of Run Toto Run or will their 2011 EP be a mixture of machines and strings? [...]
Manchester three-piece Run Toto Run are back with a new track and video, "This Is A Lull" , available from January 2011. In the short time Run Toto Run have been together, they've achieved massive radio support, seized the top spot of Hype Machine , and have performed live with the likes of Ellie Goulding, The Noisettes, Everything Everything, Neon Indian and Gold Panda .

Run Toto Run And Wheels. The more astute amongst you may have noticed that the ‘Midweek Download ’ this week, is actually at the beginning of the week, and thus contravenes the description ‘midweek.’ I can only apologise for this rather flexible use of the word ‘midweek’ and hope rather than get hung up on semantics, you enjoy the music. - (Pedants may also observe that the use of the singular- 'download', is also misleading and the plural 'downloads' would have been a much more appropriate choice of wording.) [...]
Manchester alt-pop trio Run Toto Run is the teaming of Rachael (vocals), Mike (keys) and Kid (production) who are coming on strong with their new single, "This Is a Lull." The trio has garnered a substantial amount of support in Europe, performing live with the likes of Ellie Goulding, The Noisettes, Everything Everything, Neon Indian and Gold Panda. The video for "This Is A Lull" is brash neon extravaganza that intends to reflect the "otherworldly and erratic vision of the song where time is shattered and remodeled," according to the band. "This Is A [...]
Here’s an erogenous and palpitating piece of electronica for you. Remember Run Toto Run and their Hype Machine storming cover version of Passion Pit’s Sleepyhead ? It may have given the group a reputation as twee fun time hipsters, but there’s actually a lot more to them than that – they’re a band that continue to develop and explore the quirkier edges of d-i-y computerised pop. Now the Breaking More Waves favourites are back with a new song - no doubt if you’re a regular reader you’ll already be familiar with their recent output such [...]
Manchester electro pop trio Run Toto Run are back with an excellent and trippy new video for their newest single "This Is A Lull" directed by Christopher Poole, and it's wacky and really weird and it messed with our mind a bit, but the song is really light fare as opposed to the visuals, so [...]

The Times Are A-Changin' Bob Dylan once hollered, and so they continue to do so.

Out of breezy sunshine folk through to darker [...]
When you list famous musical cities it’s unlikely that the words Portsmouth or Southsea will crop up. Too close to London and lacking the artistic bond of Brighton, Portsmouth has always been the UK’s south-central second rate cousin in terms of music. Portsmouth may possess a small but thriving grassroots scene, the hub of which is Southsea’s Albert Road area, but the size of the place, the lack of quality small music venues (the Wedgewood Rooms excepted), combined with the lack of vision and entrepreneurial foresight of many (but not all) local bands and promoters means that Portsmouth often exists [...]
It seems that the UK’s appetite for music festivals is insatiable. As summer closes tents are packed away, mud (or sunblock) is scraped off unwashed bodies and weary cider hangovers are kissed goodbye. Instead music festivals head indoors, where at least the countries unpredictable weather can’t hamper the venues, although the streets can still be awash with downpours and cider hangovers can continue to be a real possibility. Bowlie 2 curated by Belle and Sebastian, Nightmare Before Christmas curated by Godspeed You! Black Emperor, the NME Weekender at Camber Sands, In The City at Manchester, Wish You Were Here in [...]
