Manchester Orchestra is an Indie rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. Its 2005 EP release "You Brainstorm, I Brainstorm, But Brilliance Needs an Editor" showcases a diverse range of musical styles, from "The Procession" to "Slow to Learn."

Manchester Orchestra has been attracting attention outside of Atlanta as well, picking up slots on the nation's most prestigious music festivals including South by Southwest, Florida Music Festival, Lollapalooza, and CMJ.

Bassist Jonathan Corley said the band is just as excited about seeing the other bands on these festivals as playing amongst them.

"The entire lineup for the Lollapalooza is incredible," he noted. "Much like South by Southwest, its going to be difficult to decide between incredible bands playing at the same time. The chance to see bands like Wilco, Built to Spill, The Flaming Lips and our friends Anathallo in the same festival is unbelievable."^{[citation needed]}

They have released the album, I'm like a virgin losing a child on Favorite Gentlemen Recordings and it can be bought through the band´s Myspace page or it is also now available on iTunes. They will be touring during the Spring of 2007 in support of the album in a full length tour with Brand New.

This spring, Manchester Orchestra will be playing a tour with Say Anything and Saves the Day.
