Coolrunnings are a pretty sweet band who i have to assume from their myspace are partially from Knoxville, Tenessee and maybe California? I really don’t know. Regardless where they’re from any band that’s willing to name itself after the John Candy film from the early 90s about the Jamaican Bobsled team is pretty chill in my book!

What I do know is their a pretty great lo-fi band who’s got two free EPs over on their Bandcamp that you should download along with a remix of Twin Sister’s “I Am You” which was recently featured on Pitchfork’s Forkcast. This is their brand new video for “Burnout” off their Buffalo EP. I have no clue what movie the footage is from but it’s not from Cool Runnings.

Coolrunnings will be in NY for three shows at the end of August. You should check one of them out… or all three if you want to accrue bonus scene points.
