Mumford and Sons are great/alright/not awful

Actually more against them switching up their sound to MOR indie tbh. If they’d stuck to banjos and tweed…at least they could work under the pretence that they’re passionate about that style.

I really like the venue Omeara, which one of the tweed fuckers is behind

Horrific band anybody who says it is folk music (well the 1st two albums) need a lobotomy.

The only song of theirs I can vaguely tolerate is Dust Bowl Dance off the 1st album mainly because it sounded a tad different from anything else on that album.

Amazing that some of em were Laura Marlings backing band

Good joke, I like it.

100% not kidding though. He has “awake my soul” above his ankle.

Don’t have the energy to hate on Mumford and Sons for soundtracking a tory barn dance about ten years ago and find it impossible to have an opinion on anything since. Life’s too short man. I did find this amusing though at the time.

Like reading almost any Mark E Smith quote

“Hahaha…ah shit :frowning:

hateful band

They’re properly awful, like generally I can just that sort of music blend into the background but they’re almost obtrusively bland.

Music for incels and Jordan Peterson fans.

The worst thing about them is they are utterly unremarkable- which makes their platinum-selling, Glasto-headlining achievements appear somewhat baffling. They headlined Latitude last year, where they further rose up the tw@tometer by insisting on the closure of other stages whilst they performed. I was elsewhere in the festival, but apparently the flood away from M&S’ set when some of the other stages opened at 10pm was biblical to behold.

Hate it when this happens. I had slight sympathy for J.Newsom doing it at EOTR…because I reckon noise would genuinely affect her sound and playing ability… but its still really annoying.

I remember being out in the car listening to the radio. A song came on that I didn’t know and I said to myself “that’s actually a pretty good song, casinobay”. After it finished the DJ said “that’s the new song from Mumford And Sons called The Wolf”. I pulled over at the nearest bridge and jumped, killing myself instantly when I hit the icy waters below.

Some of that story is true.

Is this the bit you made up? (may you RIP)

Thank you for your condolences.

TBH I’m mourning the death of your sense of taste.

I can understand it in that case too. I suspect Mumford and Son simply didn’t want their stony-faced audience being disturbed by the sounds of people enjoying themselves elsewhere.
