that's what i usually think, and this stuff has the weird blastbeats and choppy guitar strokes, but they do it so well and nuanced that it's actually really enjoyable. Try checking out "Dear Sergio" by Catch 22, and if you don't like it, then you'll have only lost 2:31 of your life

That's sort of how I came across Mumford and Sons. Only it was a live stream while waiting for Gaslight to play at Bonaroo...there was this crazy modern folk band with an electric banjo...I thought "I gotta check these guys out!"

Mumford is actually the only Modern band that is a Top 40 group I like. I mostly like the underground artists, the ones who are not world famous...minus country, I like a lot of modern famous country singers. Like Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood etc.

My opinion of Mumford and Sons was great until I thought "If you've heard one Mumford & Sons song, you've heard them all." Unless you can point me in the direction of a song that sounds nothing like their singles?

OK I gave the Ska song a few seconds but it's already not for me right off the bat. It's like a peppy frenzy assaulting my ears and though I wish I didn't hate it, I do.

Country! That's another thing I never saw myself liking. I listen to Outlaw Country on Sirius here and there. Nothing that stands out that I can name offhand, but I can get into it if I'm in the right mood. I think it stems from liking Chuck Ragan/Revival Tour-type stuff.

yeah, like that Brad Springfield guy you always mention.

Aw man, Keasbey Nights is one of the best albums ever.

Why don't you go listen to your goddamn Tallest Man on Earth you Swedish bastard?


I like how I'm defending a whole genre after listening to one ska album for the first time today

LOL well I'm not trying to insult you for liking them or anything. I just hear those kind of horns and want to flee.

I like "Time Bomb" by Rancid if that remotely helps you feel better. I suppose that's in the realm? But I'm pretty sure the reason I like any Rancid song at all is cus of my crush on Tim Armstrong.

Looks like they're about to get the second Boston Marathon bomber... First one is either captured or dead, confliting reports

watching coverage still...fucking coward if he killed himself instead of being taken alive. least they could have done is explain why. although i suppose there isn't any reason that would lessen the pain.

Wow....Watertown looks like a war zone with all the soldiers station all around.

I would but I don't like him either, broheem, his voice annoys me.

He's a very handsome well dressed fellow though!

People with annoying voices can go this way --------->

I would probably like Rage Against the Machine if I didn't hate Zack's voice with a passion.

AWWr i LOVE SKA! or, ok i'm not into it at all, but everytime i hear these horns i feel really happy
maybe that's because i played the trumpet for some years haha

btw: don't know how famous streetlight manifesto are in the US, but as there singer Toh Kay is on the current Revival Tour lineup this may be a way for you to get into ska-punk through the (i'll name it) "gaslight-anthem-scene" and Chuck

I saw Revival twice the other week and did like his set. But probably because it was all acoustic and didn't have the horns that turn me off. I was really impressed with his guitar-playing!

yeah, i saw him on the lineup and remembered his band,
than listened a lot to streetlight manifesto stuff
than saw some acoustic videos with him
than got his album
now i gotta say those songs really sound better without horns and stuff haha

BUT the horns give the ska and especially ska-punk songs so much power - no other instrument could do this feeling for me

I'm not even anti-horn. Lucero sounds great with Scott & Jim adding to the songs. But ska horns sound like an assault on my ears. They're just too...obnoxiously perky. For me I mean. Obviously not a lot of other people.

so, let's agree on: Lucero + Horns are great haha

The Horns make a lot of the Jersey shore sound though.

OK to clarify- ska horns are basically the only horns I don't like.

And yes "so, let's agree on: Lucero + Horns are great"! Although it's my understanding some fans weren't pleased with the addition. Again, to each his own.

Doh! I thought you meant horns in general

No not at all! I also love big band stuff which is SUPER HORNY. YEH THAT'S RIGHT I SAID IT. (Where's Steph? )

Listen to my friends band. Ex Crucial Dudes and current Aspiga. Actually Crucial Dudes without the singer. http://podacter.bandcamp.com
