"It hits you. Not with simply a flick on the wrist or a slap on the forehead, but a true-blue audio curb-stomp. This progressive post-hardcore drive, this elegant indie-rock delivery; nothing so similar comes off so remarkable. Morning for the Masses, even with their debut Wake Up Better, come through with flying colors in sculpting technical post-hardcore grandeur with the delicacy of indie-rock’s finer, more refined and melodic, side. The above, alongside Ben Seaward’s epic vocal range and approach, make Seconds the complete package, that, to be honest, is the most refreshing new release I’ve heard in recent memory."

In the beginning, there was an entirely different chemistry, an entirely different purpose and Morning For The Masses burst onto the Baltimore hardcore scene. Not sure where they belonged or how to classify themselves, they've continued to progress without any regard for genre, popularity or mainstream. After movings, muggings, poverty, schooling and three years of experience they've ended up being one of the most talented and memorable bands to come from the Baltimore area. The only thing is, they see things a little differently. Morning For The Masses can only see what's ahead.

THE MAKING OF "SECONDS" & JANUARY TOUR FOOTAGE

Sounds Like: Regarding our latest release (SECONDS)::
"If the diversity will speak anything to first time listeners, we’re going to have a best seller on our hands."
-Scott Irvine; Absolutepunk.net

"You’ll never see some of Seconds’s more profound punches coming, keeping the expiration date of this particular release in the far-offs."
-Scott Irvine; Absolutepunk.net

"Departure from the expected song structure is what makes this collection of songs so distinctive."
-Scott Irvine; Absolutepunk.net

A new force in the progressive post-hardcore scene is emerging, a virtual godsend for listeners with an ear for genius. We speak of Morning for the Masses, a quintet out of Baltimore that has a knack for crystalline instrumentation, altering between crunching breakdowns and dreamlike arrangements. All of this is coupled with Ben Hirschhorn's epic vocal range to create such a larger-than-life sound. The band's newest EP, Seconds, will no doubt go down as one of the year's best. Already getting rampant praise in Internet forums and local venues across the country for their new single "Explanations," missing this release would need an explanation in itself.
