The Morning Benders

So here is one of my discoveries from thesixtyone.com (still loving it btw).

The Morning Benders are a bunch of cool guys from California. Why cool? Well for starters, they came up with a kick-ass name for a band. And their music is really good. iTunes named their debut album "Talking Through Tin Cans" the best indie album of 2008, and the boys have just followed it up with "Big Echo" this year, which I think is at least equally good. The new album was already released on Rough Trade Records, which means someone smart has already realised their potential. Their sound ranges from up-beat rock with distorted guitars to slow-paced ballads such as the one I posted below. From what they have done so far, they seem to have a wide range of talents, and I am sure they have a bright future ahead.
