The Morning Benders

Favorite

Equally indebted to the Shins, Brian Wilson, and John Lennon, the Morning Benders mix sunny pop songcraft with jangling guitars, double-tracked vocals, and collegiate wit. Frontman Chris Chu launched the group as a solo project in 2005, using a single microphone and laptop to record his early songs. The Loose Change EP arrived in September 2006, and Chu subsequently opened the Benders' doors to several of his UC Berkeley classmates, including drummer Julian Harmon, bassist Tim Or, and guitarist/organist Joe Ferrell.

Seems like everything sounds the same...to much effects on the vocal track.

I really, really, really love these guys. I listen to their album(s) twice daily. No lie. I could sing most of the songs from Talking Through Tin Cans word for word. Now learning songs from the Boarded Door - EP.
