Today's Morning Edition music is from St. Paul and the Broken Bones with "All I Ever Wonder," a song from their latest album "Sea of Noise."

They'll be performing Wednesday night and Thursday night at First Avenue in Minneapolis.

If you're curious about the band's name, frontman Paul Janeway says it was not inspired by our capitol city. Instead it's a reference to his church background and lack of vices.

When they performed a Tiny Desk concert at NPR, Bob Boilen wrote that Janeway sounds like Otis Redding but looks like your neighborhood bank teller, which was his job before the band took off.
