They only part of their songs I like is the end after they build everything up, which they do in every single song. Except for "Sigh No More". That one's flawless.

Had a friend go crazy for them.

I don't like her tastes in anything, so I am not a fan by default.

Seems like some kind of emo folk mashup.

"the cave" was the theme song in a series of espn barclay's premier league commercials for a few months around dec.-jan. or so. that's actually where i first heard them. thought the tune was incredibly catchy and googled to see who it was. have been obsessed ever since. did not watch the grammy's this year.

They performed with Avett Bros and Bob Dylan. Noticed a couple of their songs show up on the "most popular" list on grooveshark after that.

Post by: ArchE_Cat on March 07, 2011, 11:32:17 AM
comparing noah and the whale, and flogging molly w/ mumford and sons is almost like comparing apples to oranges.  noah and the whale & mumford and sons both are are "english folk" bands, however noah leans very heavily toward indie, while mumford is much more traditional folk w/ rock influence. flogging molly is not folk, they are celtic w/ a big time punk influence.

to the untrained ear/casual listener they do sound very similar, but they are not.

not a problem unless you're british royalty, then you probably should think the band to be dirty and beneath your musical listening taste.  FYI, I have tapped my foot to one of those songs, :dunno: which one.

Why on earth would being part Irish make you like this band? It's not Irish at all. IIRC, they're an English Group and it's just folk pop now.


Want Irish Music you go to groups like the Dubliners, the Davitts, the Pogues. That kind of thing.

i was semi-concerned I was denying my cherished somewhat irish heritage for eff's sake by being meh on these dudes for eff's sake.  I've read one or two paragraphs about these guys and know they are folk pop (wtf is folk pop).  Don't care, still sounds irish, so what, go cats and weird bands.

Whoever rented the house I live in before me didn't change their address to their magazine subscriptions. One of the magazines I now get is Spin. The last issue had a special on Mumford and Sons being the leaders of the new Americana (despite being English), and there was a 3 page guide on how to dress "Americana". Really lame poser hipster stuff IMHO. Mumford sucks.

hmm...i am not irish, and i like them. Is this a problem? Seems like i probably shouldn't.
Neither Mumford and Sons nor Mashers are Irish in origin, so this all sounds reasonable.
