Formed in 2016, Long Distance Runner have quickly become a mainstay in New Zealand's hardcore punk community. With members of established Auckland bands Parents, sere and Human Resource, Long Distance Runner play blistering post-hardcore.

Alongside the release of their vinyl EP, titled No Value, the band have played alongside international bands such as Hexis (DK), Magrudergrind (US), and Diploid (AUS) as well as well-known festivals Hamtown Smakdown, Borderline, bStreet and The Experiment.

This summer, Long Distance Runner are releasing a second vinyl EP which further refines their sound.
