Athcast - Athens Music! show

Summary: Manchester Orchestra The Atlanta-based Manchester Orchestra is a constantly changing line-up of musicians who enjoy creating captivating music, and an unforgettable live show. In just a few month’s time, the tightly-knit musical force has emerged as one of the most mesmerizing and dynamic young bands in the region, embracing the sweeping, melodic, emotional territory mined by such seminal artists as Dismemberment Plan, Grandaddy and The Weakerthans. With a strong musical foundation provided by bass player Jonathan Corley and drummer Jeremiah Edmond, the band's first release entitled You Brainstorm, I Brainstorm, But Brilliance Needs A Good Editor previews the content and story-line of their unreleased full-length Nobody Sings Anymore. Creator and leader of the band Andy Hull's insightful songwriting reveals a depth and maturity normally reserved for contemporaries twice his age. His compelling narratives tell harrowing tales of abuse, friendship, adultery, love, suicide and hope, all wrapped in the atmospheric glow of his hypnotic hooks.
