David Letterman is ready to rock and/or roll. The late night host's company, Worldwide Pants, has started yet another venture that has nothing to do with pants: a record label.

Letterman has signed California pop/punk rockers Runner Runner to his new Clear Entertainment/C.E. Music label. The band's catchy, if not so groundbreaking, first single, 'So Obvious,' is streaming now on their MySpace page. The label will release Runner Runner's debut album later this summer.

Runner Runner, with their radio friendly music and mall punk fashion sense (they've got the spiky hair and perfectly side-swepped bangs ... swoon!), doesn't really scream "endorsed by David Letterman." Still, the guy has championed a number of great little-known artists on his shows throughout the years. Maybe there's something more to this squeaky clean-looking Huntington Beach quintet than meets the eye (and ears).

Check out the silly no-budget video for 'So Obvious' below, and let us know what you think.
