about

Charging into New York City's indie rock scene with arena-ready choruses, widescreen guitars, and a pounding rhythm section, Morning Wars—the project of multi-instrumentalist and producer Marc Ramos—has quickly carved a lane through NYC’s grassroots circuit.

From buzzing shows at venues like Arlene's Grocery and The Bowery Electric, to features on Spotify's Fresh Finds and TikTok's official livestream, Morning Wars has been steadily building the project into one of the city's rising voices, growing a dedicated following both online and off. 

On the recently released debut album 'Prospect Gallery', Ramos writes like a documentarian of 20-something life, capturing the volatility of entering adulthood in a hyperconnected world— the rush of newfound independence, the crushing weight of comparison, the sobering realization that life stretches far beyond personal ambition. That lens is sharpened by his upbringing in a Puerto Rican household, steeped in the spirit of the American dream.

Sonically, Morning Wars thrives on urgency: Ramos’ cavernous vocals sit at the forefront, anchored by a rhythm section that drives with conviction and synth production that casts a sweeping wall of sound. Live, Ramos performs with a six piece band to match the scope of his recordings. At its core, he writes with pop instinct, clothing the songs in traits from rock’s classic eras— the immediacy and charm of the ‘60s, the grandeur of the ‘70s, the bite of the early 2000s. It’s a sound that feels timeless, yet unmistakably of the present. 

With ‘Prospect Gallery’ as his first full-length statement and an East Coast North American tour on the horizon, Ramos is building the momentum to match his ambition— staking his claim as one of indie rock’s most promising new voices and signaling a bold step toward the larger stage.
