About The Morning Benders
"This Bay Area band manage to appropriate Pavement's smirking shamble to their own lovesick, non-smartass ends."
-Pitchfork Media
"Great songwriting and melodies make for some incredibly catchy songs. I urge you to go check out this EP and if you don't do it now, I promise that you'll see and hear of this band again. They have a very bright future."
-The Tripwire
"Perhaps what distinguishes Boarded Doors from the slew of other Wilson-aspirants is the marriage of a youthful outlook with Brill Buildinglike melodies. The songs evoke exuberance and melancholic introspection without drowning in sonic ambition."
-SF Weekly
"Berkeley's the Morning Benders do a fine job of reminding me of the unassailable power of Spector's three-minute moments of transcendent pop bliss. Combining a wall of sound; along with doses of another complicated genius, Brian Wilson [...]"
-SF Bay Guardian
"These upstarts are young but not brash, paying reverence to the sounds of early rock ‘n’ roll with ever-current lyrical themes of love lost and loneliness in their debut EP Loose Change."
-Mesh Magazine
"The Morning Benders were the first kids on and blew my mind, the lead singer couldn’t have been anymore than 21 and adorable flannel clad bassist didn’t appear to be more than 17 but the songs were most definitely there and their bright eyed fans already knew every word."
-ny2lon.com
"Their laid-back melodies are nigh-impossible to resist[…] Their combination of manners and hummability together goes a long way in our book."
-idolator.com
"They will bring wittiness to the indie world both musically and lyrically. Loose Change promises many more bright days for The Morning Benders."
-Performer Magazine
"With an enviable knack for melody and a dreamy sound all their own, Berkeley natives, The Morning Benders offer us a new release of their first EP: six tracks of blissed-out cool."
