Interview: Cool Runnings

Late last year Auckland punks Cool Runnings made a lot of people happy with a name-your-price (aka free) download of their three-track EP Higher Learning. The featured single 'Cool Death' got a lot of traction, and not just locally, its video was picked up by popular Chicago-based music website Pitchfork.

This weekend the group, which is comprised of members from Diamonds and Dirt, Heidi Pasadena, Raw Nerves and Perfect Hair Forever, are releasing a split 7" vinyl with pals The Admiral through 1:12 Records. One side features 'Cool Death' while The Admiral's track 'Bother Me' is on the flip side. So it seemed like a good time to catch up with the dudes who reminded us all of the best underdog movie from 1993.
