Best Running Song for June - Atlas Genius - Trojans

This month we have a couple of nice lads from the rather large island of Australia. This is their first song, first album, first semi-hit. It's catchy, it's jangly, it's fun to run to. I like it.

A nice live version of "Trojans" with a very dead crowd.



Good summer jam - this song works well in the bright sunlight.

They've also got a new song out, "If So," and performed it on Letterman. Not bad...



Rock that Run!
