This is the first track off the soon to be released Morning Benders sophomore album called Excuses.  The video is from a series produced by one of the most amazing blogs around, Yours Truly.  Yours Truly has a connection to the San Francisco music scene and finds the opportunity to find great bands to showcase their talent with unique video performances.  Oh yeah, Happy Valentines Day!

I know it is love day and all, but here is a great heartbreak song in the same raw video style as the Morning Benders video. Yes, Bon Iver, of course.

We’ve been listening to a lot of Sleigh Bells these days and here is a great performance of their greatest song, Ring Ring. This is your sexy Valentines Day tune.
