Morning Before were a band from Germany, active from the late 90s to somewhere around 2002. Their sound is emo pop with strong bent towards the sounds of classic emocore, especially in a lot of the guitar work. They're interesting in that they don't sound a whole lot like the other German emo pop bands of this time period. Actually, they sound a lot like Copper. This changes somewhat on their second release, The New Romantics EP, which brings in more influences from midwest emo and sounds a bit more like their contemporaries.
Their first and only LP is Sunblind, was released in 1998 and followed by the EP in 2001. The album art on the LP is folded in a neat way, which I enjoy even though it was a real pain to scan. Their last release was a three-way split with The Miles Apart and Lights At Amber in 2002. Most of their compilation tracks are present on the albums, but they did contribute a unique song to Fight The World Not Each Other: A Tribute To 7Seconds in 1999. There's a track called 'Song 1' from another compilation, but a look at the album notes reveals it's one of the tracks from the split which was subsequently renamed.
