【BIOGRAPHY】
the mornings are a Tokyo based 4-piece avant-hardcore band. Formed in 2003 by university colleagues, their musical style has shifted over the years, encompassing sounds ranging from math rock, post-hardcore and dub influences, to a more no/new wave, minimal and experimental approach. Their current sound can be characterized as a meticulous discordant sound ensemble of complex guitar, harsh rave synth, hip-hop like vocals and irregular time signatures. While always maintaining a strong pop sensibility and an emphasis on danceability, they continue to explore the cutting edge of music.  

Starting their career in live venues of Tokyo, the band accomplished to self-release several demo CD/Rs and touring the U.S before officially releasing:

•	2007-MAR  1st official press EP: NENG NENG 
•	2008-SEP   Split album: ARTLESSNOTE+the mornings
•	2011-JAN   1st  full length Album: SAVE THE MORNINGS!

With the release of their first album “SAVE THE MORNINGS!”, the mornings begin to gain media attention in the Japanese music scene and has been continuously widening their activity throughout Japan.

Reflecting their eclectic musical taste, over the years the mornings has become recognized as a band that shares stages with a wide variety of acts.  From indie/alternative bands to idols, to club musicians to hip-hop acts, they can exist in various genres, while at the same time they cannot belong to one. Not only have they actively hosted and support organizing mixed genre events, but have also been asked to provide music for various compilation albums. Their music can be found in “TOKYO NEW WAVE”, compiled by Victor Entertainment, punk rock legends Dead Kennedys tribute album “Get Drunk More Fuck" (VOID COMMUNITY), one of Japan’s most promising and leading hip-hop/ track maker label SUBENOANA’s compilation “Hello vol.2” and more.
