The Morning After Girls: BeatCrave Fav

As far as style goes, The Morning After Girls seem to go for what suits them at the time. One minute they sound like Jefferson Airplane; the other, The White Stripes; and yet another, the Arctic Monkeys or Dandy Warhols. It’s their chameleon-like sound that appeals to us – yes, more than their girl in short skirts and their long-haired boys. The risks the Melbourne, Australia-based band takes with their sound makes it difficult to pin them to one genre. Versatility – being the new black – will never go out of style, and we’d figure it safe to say the same of The Morning After Girls.

With a new album released this past July and a summer tour coming to an inevitable close, we hope to find The Morning After Girls rocking out venues by the dozens. Check them out in our BeatCrave Fav series below; if you’re so inclined, vote for them in Friday’s poll!
