Morning Glory is an American punk rock band from New York. It was formed originally as a solo project by Ezra Kire in 2001 after his band Choking Victim disbanded in 1998.

According to a page on the Fat Wreck Chords website, the name for this band did not come from the flower of the same name, but rather from the fact that many of the songs were written during the morning by Kire. ^[2]
