Morning Glory is one of the many bands to spawn from Choking Victim, led by Ezra Kire. 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.

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". It was a hit with the growing "Crack Rocksteady" fan base of the local NY punk scene. 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. 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.

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 one new song entitled "All My Friends" appeared on the Black Noise Records split With F-Minus, Leftöver Crack, and Bent Outta Shape "The Kids are Gonna Pay" in 2006.

Ezra has promised a tour after the release of the new Morning Glory album, both tentatively due 2007. At Leftöver Cracks Most recent show in Birmingham and London U.K, Ezra said that there will soon be a Morning Glory U.K Tour.

As of recently (January 2008) Early Gates has said "Haven't spoke with Ezra in a while. I guess Morning Glory is on hold for the moment. Our last practice was in July. He'll let me know when he's ready to start up again."
