Anyone heard these guys? There new album (Mean Everything to Nothing) is maybe my favorite album this year. They are doing videos for every song on the album. They have completed about half of them.

There was a recent article about them in Alternative Press, and it talked about how their lead singer (Andy Hull, who is 22 yrs old) has written and recorded 38 full length albums. He has released 2 as Manchester Orchestra, and 2 as Right Away, Great Captain.

They are from here in Atlanta, and I have seen them live several times. Check them out if you haven't heard them, they are excellent live.

Yeah, I'm actually considering going to see them at Walter's (in Houston) on May 28th with Audrye Sessions.

Hope you got tickets already, its sold out.

I like their album - I'd heard I've Got Friends on Sirius and downloaded the rest. It's good stuff.

Same as golferag, heard I've Got Friends on Sirius and downloaded the rest of the album. It's one of those albums you can listen to beginning to end without skipping a song. I think Shake It Out is my favorite song so far.

Another album I recently downloaded that is easy to listen to all the way through is the new Silversun Pickups. They have a darker sound than I originally thought.

Also, really liking Band of Horses right now.

Manchester Orchestra and MGMT have my two favorite albums of the year so far.

my thoughts exactly. the b-sides are pretty solid as well.

have any of you checked out right away, great captain. its the lead singers side band. more acoustic driven, but both albums are very good. especially the more recent one, "the eventually home".

great live
