Going The Distance OST

Going The Distance, the late summer rom-com starring Barrymore and Justin Long (two of my favourites!) has one of the best damn movie soundtracks i have heard in a long time. It has a very indie heavy mixtape selection of songs which i can't get enough. To be honest, i haven't heard of any of the bands except The Cure & The Pretenders but it features a ton of bands/solo artist that is to die for. One band prominently featured in the film was UK band The Boxer Rebellion. I am very into their kind of music - abstract, haunting and subtle. Everything i love about an alternative rock music Brit Band. Great movie, killer music.
