the morning benders release japan echo ep


The Morning Benders, who are a seriously kickass band, have put together a special EP of unreleased material to help support relief efforts in Japan. You can download the Japan Echo EP for donating whatever you can. Proceeds will be given to the Japan Society's Earthquake Relief Fund. Here's a note from the band:
Last week we were scheduled to go to Tokyo to play our first show ever in Japan. It was going to be a very special trip for us, and for me in particular. I had always dreamt of going back to Japan to play music. Not many people know this, but I was actually born in Japan, and although I only lived there for a couple of years, I've always had a deep love for the country and its people. I cannot express how sad and helpless I've felt reading about everything that is happening there right now, and even though we couldn't be there, we wanted to do everything we could to help.

We love you Japan.

xo,
Chris
