   About the morning benders
OUR DEBUT ALBUM:

ORDER THE ALBUM FROM ITUNES:

ORDER THE ALBUM FROM AMAZON:

video for "boarded doors"


video for "waiting for a war"






Press:

"Rarely has a debut album sounded so fresh and endearing — without your suspecting the writer copped somebody’s songbook — as the morning benders’ "Talking Through Tin Cans."
-Kevin Bronson, LA Times

"The very youthful looking band manages to convey an early Beatles sense of optimism with sweet undertones. Expect big things from them in the future."
-Kyle MacKinnel, Filter Magazine

"This Bay Area band manage to appropriate Pavement's smirking shamble to their own lovesick, non-smartass ends."
-Stephen M. Deusner, Pitchfork Media

"The youthful quartet, who've been successfully campaigning for the title of SF's new indie rock darlings, charmed their way through their early Beatles-y repertoire for their first big Noise Pop show so winningly we could almost hear the Wonder Years voiceover as they left the stage."
-Melissa Goldstein, Spin Magazine

"This group has no shortage of hooks and crescendos, and with a lighthearted indie pop style familiar enough to capture anyone's attention and enough creativity to hold it, they stand out from their peers."
-Kimberley Chun, San Francisco Bay Guardian

"Sort of like a real morning bender, except a lot more catchy and a lot less likely to make you eat something greasy for lunch."
-Stereogum

We've played a lot of shows, with a lot of fine bands:

Death Cab For Cutie, MGMT, The Kooks, Ra Ra Riot, White Rabbits, We Are Scientists, The Rosebuds, Two Gallants, Yeasayer, Rogue Wave, The Little Ones, Pink Mountaintops, Vetiver, Kelley Stoltz, Au Revoir Simone, Oh No Oh My, The Long Winters, Cut Off Your Hands, Figurines, Grand Archives, Port O'Brien, Delta Spirit, The Mumlers, Dawes, and We Barbarians ... to name a few.

Hello my name is Alexandro Hernandez a great fan
i'm writing to ask to see if i could get the tabs/chords to lovefool if that was ok with you guys. i already know how to play crosseyed clean and hope to learn the rest of your songs. will you guys ever release a chord book? just wondering because i would really like to get that. well i hope to see you guys preform soon. i live in the inland empire, not enough dough to drive to SF so i'll just bump the toons for now.

- thanks for your time and the music
