Formed after the breakup of Choking Victim, Morning Glory is a New York City punk band founded by Ezra Kire. Initially a solo project, with Kire performing and recording the band's 2001 debut, This Is No Time ta Sleep, by himself, the band's early days found Kire continuing to explore the ska-punk sound of his previous band. After the band's second release, Morning Glory became largely inactive as Kire focused his attention on his other band, Leftöver Crack. After parting ways with the punk outfit in 2009, Kire refocused his efforts on Morning Glory, evolving the band's sound on 2012's Poets Were My Heroes. Morning Glory returned in 2014 with War Psalms, a more triumphant effort that found Kire and company maturing the band's sound. ~ Gregory Heaney
