The latest band we’re featuring in our Tailored In Manchester series are electro-pop trio Run Toto Run, a group that are getting some serious attention on the back of the couple of singles they’ve put out so far. In their short time together, Run Toto Run have already been played on every radio station you can think of, and were the toast of the music blogs for their inspired cover of Passion Pit’s ‘Sleepyhead’. It’s fair to say then that they’re one of our top tips for 2010. In the video above you can check out our interview with them, interspersed with clips from their latest mind-bending video for their single Catch Your Breath. They’ve certainly got vivid imaginations…

If you want to hear more from Run Toto Run, check out Umbro.com or the band’s own website. We’ve also got a whole set of pictures from the band’s visit to Dale Street over on Flickr for you to check out.

For the latest instalment of Tailored In Manchester – where Umbro invites the best upcoming bands to check out what we’re up to down at our Dale Street studio – we’re introducing a group who aren’t actually from Manchester. However, punkish trio Orphan Boy have been adopted by the city since they moved from Grimsby, and you can certainly hear Manchester’s musical past reflected in their atmospheric, grimey ‘council-pop’ (their description). You can learn more about the band in the video below, in which two members of the band talk about what makes Orphan Boy who they are, or click the link here to hear more of their music – Some Frontier in particular is a cracking track.
