Mumford And Sons Are More Rock And Roll Than We Give Them Credit For

September 13th, 2013 By Rhiannon Davies

Mumford and Sons are the musical equivalent of a trip to the local farmers market and a homemade Cornish pasty.?

They’re the kind of guys that you could bring home to meet your parents and not have to worry about them blowing their nose on the tablecloth or hitting on your sister. They’d always hold your coat out for you and probably have an encyclopedic knowledge of the best places to buy organic Fairtrade coffee to compliment your responsibly sourced Tibetan salmon panini.

It’s not really that surprising that they have no idea about strip club etiquette.

Mumford & Sons Go ‘Doom Folk’ And We Demand An End To This Awful Music And Their Awful Fans

December 14th, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

Terrible breakfast of shit, Mumford & Sons, want us to listen to them talking about their next album. As if it wasn’t enough that we had to endure their beige, tepid, tuneless, flaccid music in the first instance. And don’t say ‘Don’t like it, don’t listen’ because they’re bloody played EVERYWHERE, ALL THE STUPID TIME.

Anyway, they’ve got some new, awful material to release. You’re probably wondering what it sounds like.

Well, according to the self imposed trampery that makes up the band, the new album will sound like “Black Sabbath meets Nick Drake”. Forgive us while we puncture the vital, thick veins that run down our necks, now.

Liam Gallagher Reveals Dislike Of Mumford & Sons’ Style In Unfortunate ‘Pot, Kettle, Black’ Incident

June 22nd, 2011 By Michael Park

Liam Gallagher, a man who facially resembles a cross between a Dickensian henchman and a brain damaged howler monkey, is well known for holding certain controversial views on the world around him. He’s the kind of gent that, if he were punch a GPS satellite out of the sky for ‘looking at him funny’, most people wouldn’t be 100% surprised.

Now, the former front brother of Oasis has decided to launch into a fashion crusade in an effort to clean up the image of some of music’s biggest stars. The bowl-cut-toting funster’s love of the finer fashions have often seen comparisons drawn between him and some of the most flamboyant characters in modern celebrity and fashion.

Who can forget that parka that he wore at Glastonbury 1996, T in the Park 1998, V Festival 2005, Knebworth well, actually… pretty much every live show that Oasis have done**. Still, it had a nice furry hood and was very practical in the winter, according to his mummykins.

Paul Weller To Win Mercury Music Prize Tonight?

September 7th, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

Tonight sees the annual Mercury Music Prize trundling into view, hauling its mighty self worth with it. Bands will be dribbled over and invariably drowned out to the sound of a room congratulating itself with thunderous back-slaps. Jools Holland will probably join-in with some faux honky tonk piano.

And weirdly, the bookies favourite for a win tonight is octogenarian Paul Weller, with his album ‘Wake Up The Nation’.

You can see what we thought of that album, and indeed, all the other nominees at this predictably dismissive article here.

Mercury Music Prize Announce Uninspiring List of Somebody-or-Others

July 20th, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

The Mercury Music Prize is a press junket with feelings. While bozos get plastered and toot chong from toilet cisterns, pinning lackeys against walls with their feeble erections, a panel of judges all pat each other on the back discussing albums that Really Mean It Man, as opposed to those that sold loads of copies that Didn’t Mean It Man.

And, as ever, ‘musical creativity and excellence’ is supposedly highlighted by the predictable 12 Albums of the Year shortlisted for the 2010 Barclaycard Mercury Prize. And they’ve been announced today!

Aren’t you excited?
