Hailing from your Chicago area and acquiring their name in the Alan Moore-penned Watchmen comic reserve series, indie rock and roll group Dr. Manhattan produced in 2005. Matt Engers (vocals, electric guitar), Adam Engers (bass), Nick Vombrack (drums, vocals), and Andrew Morrison (keyboards, percussion, keyboards) became known because of their boisterous live shows and earned compliment from critics at AbsolutePunk.net. In 2007, Dr. Manhattan agreed upon with Vagrant Information and began dealing with manufacturer Jon Alvin on the first record. The self-titled debut premiered in 2008.
