With the primary influences of "subtle noises & mountain dew slushies," Indiana based Manners For Husbands are a breath of fresh air in the world of indie rock. Their completely unique blend of mathy, airy, jazzy, lo-fi rock has made them one of the greatest bands to ever come out of Indiana; and one of the most under-rated bands on this planet. The three-piece, comprised of Clinton Hughey, David Brant, & Alex Myers, have shared the stage with such notable acts as Low, Pedro the Lion, Retsin, Unwed Sailor, Faraquet, Hertzsprung Gap, North of America, and Sweep the Leg Johnny. The instrumental roles of the band seem to change as often as the time signature. Clinton and David both fill the guitar, bass, and vocal roles, switching instruments as needed; with their ideas brought to the front lines by the solid, intelligent beats of Alex Myers.
Sadly, Manners for Husbands are gone forever. The Indiana boys who shook up the Midwestern indie scene over the past 6 years called it quits in 2004. These days, David is playing in Bronze Float with the wonderful Justin Vollmar. Clinton Hughey has started a new project with buddies Daniel Paquette and Karl Hofstetter called the Abner Trio. The group has released their first album, Distant Thunder of the Sacred Force, though Joyful Noise.
On August 2, 2005, Manners released their final album Sickly Love Sadness free to the public through mp3 download. The group also released just 100 units of the album packaged in hand-made envelopes with an additional bonus track (Cora's Song) for the true Manners fan.
