Claude says:This Fort Worth rock band spent the back half of the 2000s opening for Collective Soul and landing songs on MTV reality shows, catching the tail end of that earnest Third Eye Blind–meets–The Fray moment in pop-rock. The Morning Passengers came out as an acoustic EP right after they'd left Virgin Records — stripped-down versions that leaned into the warmth without the radio polish. You grabbed it that October and cycled through "Dancing Shoes" and "Out of the Storm" a handful of times before moving on.
