Hull is also co-president of Manchester Orchestra"s label, Favorite Gentlemen. A year later, he was writing and performing songs with a friend of his who played bass. After that band collapsed he started another one with Manchester Orchestra"s keyboardist, Chris Freeman, on drums.
"I was listening to a lot of Morrissey and The Smiths," said Hull.
"So the city of Manchester really fascinated me, as did the idea of being the leader of an orchestra and having all my friends come in to play." Feeling increasingly alienated at his "small-town-Georgia, Christian high school" in suburban Atlanta, Hull spent his senior high school year studying at home. He also wrote and recorded his first full length album in 2004 during the same school year.
