As my bio says, I have a sudden fascination with Mumford and Sons, the folk-rock band that's been around for only a couple years. I've been listening to them since 2011, but now the fascination has developed into something not quite like fanboyism, but something significant.

Their music sounds so...real. Real and not synthetic. Despite that "handicap", they've still managed to beat out several Pop bands in sales and reach, including One Direction and Justin Bieber in their newest album "Babel".

Here's some links to throw at you:

I'm alright with them, but it's tiring seeing every trendy music act these days having to bust out a lead with an acoustic guitar, and a few more esoteric instruments.

First off, I'm glad somebody made it big out of the indie-folk/folk-rock/indie-rock or whatever you wanna call it genre, but I'm not sure why it was Mumfords and Sons. My theory is that there isn't much to not like about them, compared to my favorite bands.

Their lyrics aren't quite as cut-and-paste as most pop songs are, either.


There are tons of musical gems like them. They just have to be found.
