Atlanta, Georgia, United States (2005 – present)

Manchester Orchestra is an indie rock band which formed in Atlanta, Georgia, United States in 2005. They consist of Andy Hull (vocals, guitar), Robert McDowell (guitar), Jonathan Corley (bass), Christopher Freeman (keyboards) and Jeremiah Edmond (drums). The band has released two albums - 2006’s “I’m Like A Virgin Losing A Child” and 2009’s “Mean Everything to Nothing”.

Mean Everything To Nothing , the second album from Atlanta’s Manchester Orchestra, is everything you want a rock record to be: raw, urgent, emotional, and 100 percent authentic. “There is nothing fake about this record,” says frontman and lyricist Andy Hull. “There’s not one fake sound on it. We recorded it live because we wanted it to sound like a band, and I think it does: live and loud!”

Inspired by the pounding, primal assault of Weezer’s Pinkerton , Nirvana’s In Utero , and Foo Fighters’ The Colour and the Shape , this young band has created its own version of what a classic rock album should sound like, complete with fiercely beautiful melodies, shifting guitar and keyboard textures, loud/soft dynamics, and an urgency in each band member’s performance, especially Hull’s cathartic vocals.

The drama is magnified by the fact that the album’s first six songs bleed into one another without stopping.

Has anyone seen Manchester Orchestra live? I’ve been thinking about getting tickets to their next show, and I wanted some reviews. I saw some web content with a live performance from them and it looked like they totally rocked. Let me know what you guys think! Oh, and here’s the link to the performance I watched in case anyone is curious! http://www.iheartradio.com/cc-common/ondemand/stripped.html?apid=6244&cmp=a_manchesterorchestra

all the music that they made that isnt shown on here, such as the tree sound sound sessions, virgins and babies, twelve monhs is a waste of time, and best of all the 5 stories ep. all of these are worth checking out to anyone who loves them, cause the music off off these will make you love them more

discovered them yesterday on Alternative Times Vol 105. "I've got friends" - wow. then i heard shake it out and was very disappointed. then i listened to a bunch more of their stuff and i think i love it. idk why shake it out is considered a single. next step - look what other music you ppl are listening to and steal your ideas b/c you obvi knew about this band before me :-P

Heaven is actually a sweet venue and I thought the sound was very good last night, crisp and very loud.
