Manchester Orchestra
Though frontman Andy Hull pens the lyrics for Manchester Orchestra , the entire Atlanta-based band--vocalist/guitarist Hull, bassist Jonathan Corley, drummer Jeremiah Edmond, keyboardist Chris Freeman and guitarist Robert McDowell--collaborates on the music. The indie rockers worked alongside producers Joe Chiccarelli (The Shins, My Morning Jacket) and Dan Hannon for their second studio album, "Mean Everything To Nothing," which surfaced in April.
"Mean Everything To Nothing" came on the heels of a busy year, including a run on last summer's festival circuit and the release of a five-song EP entitled "Let My Pride Be What's Left Behind."
The rock outfit is in the midst of a US club tour behind the new album. The trek wraps up with an Aug. 7 performance at Chicago's Lollapalooza.
