Encyclopedia > Morning Glory (band)

Morning Glory is one of the many bands to spawn from Choking Victim, led by Ezra Crack. They also play ska/punk somewhat like Choking Victim, and members are drawn from the wide pool of punk rock musicians in New York City.

Ezra Kire is an American singer/guitarist/songwriter from influential NYC hardcore/ska/punk bands like Leftöver Crack, Morning Glory, Choking Victim, and INDK.

In the early days (circa 2001, near the breakup of INDK) Ezra began working on a solo project, but with input and help from many other musicians. With a guitar, an 8-track, and a drum machine, he wrote and produced "This is No Time ta Sleep". From the ashes of the political ska punk band Choking Victim, came two bands. ...


It was a hit with the growing "Crack Rock Steady" fan base of the local NY punk scene, and the "single" of the album, "Gang Control" was re-issued along with 3 new tracks on the self-produced Maxi-single CD "Tha Suicide Singles" in 2002. At least one of the tracks was live, indicating that Ezra had by that time (at least loosely) pulled an actual band together to perform as "Morning Glory".


The next release, including a full line-up of musicians, featured 5 all new songs in 2003 and was called "The Whole World is Watching". Morning Glory played a few shows around New York, but with Leftöver Crack's impending Fuck World Trade tour, Morning Glory took a back seat. The Leftöver Crack logo. ...


Not much was heard from the band or any news of new material until late 2005 when Ezra made some California show appearances with Leftöver Crack and people began to ask him about Morning Glory. They have recorded a full demo, and apparently it's done or close to being done, because one of the tracks is set to appear on Black Noise's forthcoming compilation, "The Kids are Gonna Pay", set for release on March 1st 2006.

The Crown & The Down

Ezra created a logo for Morning Glory called "The Crown & The Down". It has appeared on all Morning Glory CDs, most shirts, pins, patches and other merch, and Ezra has a large tattoo of it on his back.


An explanation behind the Morning Glory logo:


The crown is humanity's wealthy & powerful 3% who control the entire globe & populace from markets & media to perception & thought.


The down are those who make the growing masses of poor & disenfranchized. Cast with the lot of being the foundation of their oppressors. The two are seperated by barbed wire. This is the symbol of humanity's division & nature.
