Manchester Orchestra is an American indie rock
band from Atlanta, Georgia
, formed in 2005. The group is currently composed of rhythm guitarist-singer-songwriter Andy Hull
, lead guitarist Robert McDowell, keyboardist and percussionist Chris Freeman, bassist Jonathan Corley, and drummer Tim Very. Former drummer Jeremiah Edmond parted ways with the band in January 2010 to focus on his family as well as running the band's record label, Favorite Gentlemen.
To date they have released several extended play
s and three studio albums: I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child
(2006), Mean Everything to Nothing
(2009) and Simple Math
(2011). They are currently signed to independent record label

.
. They are named after the English City of Manchester, a frequently viewed bohemian
city which is rich in musical history (The Smiths
, The Stone Roses
, Joy Division
, Oasis
, New Order
, Happy Mondays
). Feeling increasingly alienated at his "small-town-Georgia, Christian high school" named Providence Christian Academy, in suburban Atlanta, the band's lead singer Andy Hull became so frustrated that he spent his senior year studying at home. He also wrote and recorded his first full length album in 2004 while studying during his last year of high school.
Early in their career, the band recorded an album entitled Nobody Sings Anymore. However, it was never released due to the shift in the band's musical direction and personal changes undergone following its recording. The band stated that "the band that made the record was different to the band now." Some of the tracks written for the album were released instead on You Brainstorm, I Brainstorm, but Brilliance Needs a Good Editor
.
Following the EP, Manchester Orchestra recorded and released their debut album I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child
. This album gained the attention of the music industry, and eventually led to their signing with Canvasback. The album was released nationwide July 27, 2007. Guitarist Robert McDowell did not appear on this album. The song "Wolves At Night" was featured in the video game NHL 08
