Manchester Orchestra Biography

Andy Hull the maturity of Manchester Orchestra's songwriting belied the fact that the bandmembers were barely legal when their group sprung into existence. Encouraged by positive response he opted for home schooling during his senior year which afforded him enough time to compose and record in the studio. Friends began collaborating with him over time and Manchester Orchestra soon solidified into a trio comprising Hull bassist Jonathan Corley and drummer Jeremiah Edmond. Hull's songwriting noticeably progressed with the addition of his friends and the band courted its first fans with an EP release. With the EP out Manchester Orchestra began playing shows around the Southeast and added keyboardist Chris Freeman to the mix. Buzz about the band's music began creating a stir beyond the Atlanta city limits and the guys were invited to play slots at the South by Southwest and Lollapalooza festivals in 2006 before beginning to work on their full-length album that summer. The resulting I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child was issued by the year's end offering up a poignant collection of memorable hooks and thoughtful narratives that showcased a similar style to acts like the Weakerthans and Death Cab for Cutie.
