Berkley indie-rock outfit The Morning Benders have toured with such big names as DCFC, The Kooks, and We Are Scientists, and have recently announced a Fall tour with Syracuse rockers Ra Ra Riot. 

During their week off in between tours and various festival dates, the quartet has also managed to release an exclusive covers album and made them available as free downloads on their blog.  The Bedroom Covers was recorded entirely in singer Chris Chu's bedroom, and features tracks from the Talking Heads, The Smiths, and a Beach Boys remix.
