There are two bands called The Race, one hailing from Reading, in England, and the other from Chicago, USA.
1)When The Race released their debut album “Be Your Alibi” in 2006, the acclaim it met with was positive and across the board. They were quickly tacked onto NME club tours, toured the UK and Europe with the likes of Cooper Temple Clause and Seafood, and invited to perform live from Maida Vale for Radio 1’s Huw Stephens’ in a show celebrating the 10th anniversary of the band’s highly distinguished record label shifty disco.
Two years on and “I Get It Wrong” is the first single to be taken from the forthcoming second album “In my head it works”. Produced by Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Idlewild) it packs stadium sized clout alongside subtlety and chiming song writing prowess. They judder and stumble with visceral intensity before alighting all at once on the big pop hook with an apparently effortless grace.
It’s this notion of grace that typifies The Race’s musical output. Although there’s an overt element of sweeping anthemia to everything they do, there’s an undeniable attention to detail in everything from the fretwork to the sonics.
2) The Race (US) released their fourth full length album “Ice Station” in 2007 on Flameshovel Records.

Great Band...Hopefully they can come soon to NYC. Can anyone help me find the lyrics for the song, "Give me your bible"?

Maybe I'm missing some sort of deeper meaning or irony but is it just me or have they gone all Christian-Rock on the new album?

I Get It Wrong is brilliant, easily one of the best singles of 2008. Can't wait to hear the rest of In My Head It Works!
