One of our favorite and most under-appreciated bands around, Slow Runner, are preparing to release their fourth full-length album titled Damage in March and are launching their biggest tour ever to promote it.

They'll hit the road with their old pal William Fitzsimmons, who they toured with in 2008. The tour stops at the Pour House in downtown Raleigh on Sunday, April 10. Tickets will be $12 in advance and will be available HERE soon.

Fitzsimmons new album titled Gold in the Shadow is due out March 27 via Netwerk Records. Check out the music video for the "The Tide Pulls From the Moon" from the album below. Josh Kahler of Slow Runner is prominently featured in it, playing multiple instruments. There is also a brief shot of Jay Clifford, formerly from Jump, Little Children.

Slow Runner released a new three-song EP titled Ghost Rendition in 2010. Stream the song "Rainyface" from the EP below.
