Manchester Orchestra

“Just ’cause I’ve come here to play doesn’t mean you can waltz right into my life”, announced frontman Andy Hull. Living up to his word, Andy, along with the four other band members, managed to consistently lull the audience into a false serenity before thwacking them out of place with a powerhouse of noise. Each song an anthemic masterpiece, crafted to perfection but still maintaining an honest grit. This harmonic discord was welcome, and substantiates why Manchester Orchestra are at the top of their game.
