Atlanta's Andy Hull and company received considerable praise leading up to Mean Everything to Nothing, Manchester Orchestra's second official full-length release. With that praise and hype came the attention of producer Joe Chiccarelli (the Shins/My Morning Jacket), who adds enough muscle, sound, and fury to the music to match Hull's frequent growls and rants. The resulting dynamic attack will likely please the screamo crowd, as songs like "Shake It Out" feature the kind of angsty lyrics (fighting the Lord), yelping Isaac Brock meets-nu-metal-swagger, and power chords that thrill a young audience. More savvy, or at least older, music fans will be able to pick out the influences, from the Kurt Cobain wail and Nirvana-like grunge pop of "In My Teeth," to the Smashing Pumpkins-by-way-of-Jane's Addiction guitars of the catchy and earnest "I've Got Friends," to the wounded-voice Bright Eyes of "The River," to the all-out Neutral Milk Hotel borrowing that is "100 Dollars."
After 2007s I’m Like A Virgin Losing A Child debut, Manchester Orchestra set about touring with a series of high-profile bands like Kings Of Leon, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Two years on, a tighter unit, they have a better idea of the end product they want and, within that, [...]

I was first introduced to Manchester Orchestra frontman Andy Hull's music last year, though it was through his solo moniker - Right Away, Great Captain! - an acoustic, folk-based project. With his previously established band, Hull explores a louder, more bombastic rock 'n' roll style on Mean Everything To Nothing with a kind of unhinged energy that sometimes rubs up against emo rock but general...

There's already been one video for the fantastic Manchester Orchestra track 'Shake It Out' and it slotted perfectly into place alongside the bands over-arcing story-line from their album 'Mean Everything To Nothing'. They went on to make a video for every song from the new record, all of which were just as equally strange and metaphorical as the next.
