The Morning Benders are an indie band from Berkeley, CA and they’re a whole lot of awesome. Their latest release Big Echo is pretty fresh and by fresh I mean cool. Anyway, the band consists of Julian Harmon, Tim Or, and Chris Chu and I caught up with the latter recently. [...]
Kate Nash’s sophomore album drops next month. Her debut was so kickass it’s going to be hard to match it. This first single “Do Wah Do” is promising and the video isn’t chopped liver. Chopped liver, by the way, sucks.
