We’ve been talking about Mumford & Sons – both here on Sound Citizen and over beers this summer in Chicago – for a couple of months now. But then it dawned on me that I have yet to really post something exclusively about them. That’s just lame. So here it is.
I like music with conviction, creativity and in the interests of the common man. Mumford & Sons, I like. I like them so much that I’ve considered spending the obnoxious ticket price of one day of Lollapalooza just to see them. Because as we all know, you can’t really get to know a band until you’ve seen them live. And I’m committed to getting to know these folks.
Mumford & Sons might not be for everyone, although I’m not sure why someone wouldn’t like them.
Oh hell … just have a listen. (Might take a second to load – try skipping ahead if it won’t)
