  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .... .... .. .. ...... .. .... "It hits you. Not with simply a flick on the wrist or a slap on the forehead, but a true-blue audio curb-stomp. This progressive post-hardcore drive, this elegant indie-rock delivery; nothing so similar comes off so remarkable. Morning for the Masses, even with their debut Wake Up Better, come through with flying colors in sculpting technical post-hardcore grandeur with the delicacy of indie-rock’s finer, more refined and melodic, side. The above, alongside Ben Seaward’s epic vocal range and approach, make Seconds the complete package, that, to be honest, is the most refreshing new release I’ve heard in recent memory."..-Scott Irvine; Absolutepunk.net.. .... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
