Manchester Orchestra
Hometown: Alpharetta, GA
The five young men making up Atlanta’s Manchester Orchestra were barely out of their teens when they self-released their full-length debut, 2006’s I’m Like a Virgin Losing a Child. But supple-voiced group leader Andy Hull had already been honing his songwriting and guitar chops for years and even recorded a whole other, unreleased album with an earlier lineup of the band, so the maturity and confidence of I’m Like a Virgin … really wasn’t a surprise. Since then, Manchester Orchestra has toured heavily, garnered favorable comparisons to Death Cab for Cutie and even been tapped by Rolling Stone as an “artist to watch.” No doubt plenty of fans will be doing just that when Hull and Co. release Mean Everything to Nothing this spring.

The lineup: Andy Hull (vocals, guitar), Jonathan Corley (bass), Jeremiah Edmond (drums), Chris Freeman (keyboard), Robert McDowell (guitar). The background: Yesterday we were talking about a goth rebirth, and we're in the middle of a mini-C86 revival, and so surely one of the next movements on the agenda, according to chrono-logic, would be a grunge renaissance, unless there's one already happening and we missed it. Arguably emo is What Grunge Did Next, but Manchester Orchestra – who are neither from Manchester nor an orchestra unless you're feeling generous and describe their music as a symphony of guitars, bass and drums – remind us more of 1992-3 grunge behemoths like Soul Asylum and especially Pearl Jam. And we say especially Pearl Jam because Manchester Orchestra's singer Andy Hull...more at guardian.co.uk
