The Morning Benders broke onto the scene with their mid-2008 release, Talking Thru Tin Cans (Plus One), and now are back to show the world they weren’t just a sunny one hit wonder band. The group is set to release their second album Big Echo on their new home, Rough Trade on March 9th, but first they are giving out a little gift to the fans. If you head over to their website you can download their new single from the album titled “Promises” for free. The track picks up where thier debut album ended, but you can see a natural, more mature progression in the band. They still have their catchy hooks and California glow that we have come to know and love. The Morning Benders will also be taking the stage around the country on their first headling tour running from March to April. They are also taking The Miniature Tigers on the road with them so this is certainly going to be a tour not to miss!
