NOW AVAILABLE! Rhinestone Revolutions Hound Me Warm Divinity From Our Teeth See more Videos on YouTube "(Michael) Mearns undeniably has one of the best new voices in indie rock" --Christopher Petro, West Coast Performer The Monday Mornings started as the solo project of singer/songwriter and Seattle native Michael Mearns in 2007 during sessions at Foundry Studios which resulted in a demo entitled Automatic Anvils. In the winter of 2008 Mearns returned to the studio to finish leftover tracks and begin work on a first full-length record. Pulling in friends Thomas Erak (the Fall of Troy)-drums, Katie Mosehauer (Lucy Bland, The Thoughts)- violin, and Evan Robertson (Catapults/Sportsfan)-bass, the four recorded what became the recently self-released record "Swallow Down the Days", engineered/mastered by Pierre Ferguson (Mountain Con). Following completion of the record, second guitarist/background vocalist Brett Berger was added to complete the line-up of Michael Mearns and the Monday Mornings. Now simply The Monday Mornings, the band has officially released their first self-produced record sans label and has several shows under their belt. They will be playing throughout the Pacific Northwest during the Summer of 2008 and into other parts of the country throughout the fall and winter. "Sumptuous folk harmonies and plucked strings dominate the Monday Mornings' recent debut release, Swallow Down The Days, a melancholy record that could only have been created by people who live under a blanket of clouds most of the time. Even though Seattle doesn't exactly want for these sorts of bands, it's a sound we can't get enough of (Fleet Foxes, hello?!), and there's something quite compelling about Michael Mearns' vocals, which resemble the Weakerthans' John Samson. Plus, while the music's roots stretch into folk, pop, and country territory, the band doesn't hunker down for too long in any one of those adjoining styles." -Sara Brickner, The Seattle Weekly "The Monday Mornings are an intriguing mixture of spare sixties style folk and understated post-punk colors" -Palestra.net!-START Block to Place Custom Banner at Top of Page-! !-Create div with image.
