Manchester Orchestra

There is really not a lot I can say about Manchester Orchestra. Just google them if you want to read rave reviews or hear about their celebrated new album.

I was fortunate enough to see them live at the Masquerade in Atlanta back in August and I was blown away. Kevin Jones of The Snake The Cross The Crown (also a great band) is a family friend, and got us on the list for his show, as his band was opening up - along with M.O. - for a band called Me Without You. In between sets, I ran into a guy from my high school who said that he was here to see M.O. because some of the guys in the band had also gone to our school. I figured that this connection was enough for me to want to hang around and check out their first few songs. I was blown away by an incredible and powerful live performance by a group of kids who all looked to be less than 20 years old.

Lead singer Andy Hull has the voice to take M.O. anywhere they want to go. He has a solo project called Right Away, Great Captain!, in which he also displays songwriting and storytelling abilities far beyond his years.

The above video should answer any questions you still might have.
