Had to unfortunately go to one of their concerts one time. Brandi Carlile was the opening act and I was thinking... maybe this is going to be alright. Music was straight up derivative drivel.
Mumford and Sons are shit. Politically I mean. Their music is okay...

Mumford and Sons have always been shit and this is the least surprising revelation I've seen. My old boss called them Hitler Youth with Banjos (back in 2012/2013) and boy was he right.
They had couple decent songs in the beginning and that was that. Still it's crap that people continue to hold these sorts of views :(.
Also, lol at that book talking about the "Left undermining democracy" when GOP legislatures recently introduced 250 or so bills to curtail voting. Yeah...

Fuuuuuck that's got me heated.
I'm sure it's possible to have success in the music industry without millionaire parents but I cannot stop finding rich kids who became massively successful playing folk music in the 2010s.
I knew so many people who tried to break into that kind of stuff in those years and so many of them had to give up eventually. I cannot help but have the impression that much of the modern music industry is centred around rich kids who had the opportunity to explore their interests and hobbies during their formative years whilst everyone else in their peer group eventually has to give up and get a real job because you can't afford rent in a big city by playing open mic nights and small gigs.
Ugh, that's not it but I hate that song too haha.
I might be mixing up some other shitty indie/pop song in my head.
Apologizes for post. Taking time off from band. Yadda yadda yadda.

He's taking time off from the band to reexamine his blind spots 🤔

Winston Marshall to take leave of absence from Mumford & Sons following Andy Ngo tweet
Mumford and Sons banjo player Winston Marshall has apologized and is taking a leave of absence from the band amidst outcry over his recent social media post praising right-wing agitator Andy Ngo.

This is sad to hear, I like Little Lion Man as a song and it comes on the radio pretty often as well. Glad I never cared much for their other songs though
Yeah, that and Roll Away your Stone were songs I would hear on repeat a lot, reading this thread I need keep reminding myself that the latest work of a band is what defines them the most for commenters.
From the first album alone I would never guess so many people hated the band already.
It's a shame, but it's not like I was keeping up with them.
Well, safe to say Winston won't be out of a job for too long. He can compose the music for the TV channel his father's investing in. GB News.

Nah you're thinking of Gary Glitter Rock n Roll #2, which is also by a mediocre racist white guy
Yeah about Gary...
(Kinda messed up that one of his songs ended up in Joker. At least he didn't get any royalties on the back of it.)

Jason sudeikis and ed helms were in a music video of theirs. A few years back I think they are good friends.

oooh I mistook racism for sexual predator. goddamnit, I knew he was shit but didn't know in what context
Bumped because there's an update on Winston Marshall. He has left the band and retracted his previous apology lol
EDIT: I'm not gonna link to his Medium post to give it clicks, but you can find it in the Pitchfork article.

There you have it folks, Andy Ngo is "unquestionably brave"!

Their music blows, just anthems for a faux-folk urban lifestyle where you go to expensive places quaintly named after the businesses they displaced, like some restaurant called "Laundromat" or whatever that tries to look like it opened 70 years ago. A bunch of assholes
Their bassist tried to throw me out of a VIP area cos he didn't know who I was…. I didn't know who he was but you didn't see me trying to narc….
shit music and that dude for sure was lame.
shit music and that dude for sure was lame.
They also did this amazing music video with Ed Helms, Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte. I think they probably made some connects with Jason Sudeikis.
Let's all take a step back and calm down for a moment here. There's no need to lump the banjo in with this shitty rockabilly band 😭.
That photo fucks my brain because I want to see Peterson as a member of the group.
They all fit together so well.

Mumford did all the original music in the show. And it's real good.
Yeah, that kinda music is what I'd always think of when I think of "hipster music".
i think hipsters would have criticized their shit as "hipster music for normies".
His blog is honestly one of the most laughable things I've ever read. No one is forcing you to not talk about your political views, because I'm pretty sure no one has any need to listen to the political leanings of the banjo player from Mumford and sons. Equally, I don't think anyone who was a die hard Mumford and sons fan is suddenly going to stop listening to their music because one of them has conservative views.
He could've gone on, having his private political views and stayed in a wildly successful band that I'm sure he enjoyed playing music with globally. Now, maybe a quick tour of the alt-right podcasts (if he's lucky), and then a fade into obscurity.

lol. this dude is such a lame-o.
"the great risk of endangering oneself" to what? Twitter posts about how much of a dumbass they are?
You're not Diamond Dogs material.Don't let me keep you from enjoying your Mumford. :D
Yeah about Gary...

I know this is an old post now but I only just saw it with the thread bump but I was actually surprised they still play his music in American sports arenas even now.......I know Americans may not know about his past etc but as someone who was visiting this year and went to an nba game I was actually surprised and said to my wife how weird it was that no one seemed to have any idea how they are signing along to a child abusing asshole.
