Well we learned you never know what can happen when you interview the band
Mumford and Sons! Rockerrazzi/987fm.com got a chance to chat and listen with the guys as they stopped by the 98.7FM studio to play an intimate performance for some very lucky fans.
Check out this hilarious exclusive interview These guys are amazing and we are sure they will catch fire stateside. Since they formed in
December 2007, the members of
Mumford & Sons have shared a common purpose: to make music that matters, without taking themselves too seriously. Four young men from
West London in their early twenties, they have fire in their bellies, romance in their hearts, and rapture in their masterful, melancholy voices. They are staunch friends -
Marcus Mumford,
Country Winston,
Ben Lovett, and
Ted Dwane - who bring their music to us with the passion and pride of an old-fashioned, much-cherished, family business. They create a gutsy, old-time sound that marries the magic of
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young with the might of
Kings Of Leon, and their incredible energy draws us in quickly to their circle of songs, to the warmth of their stories, and to their magical community of misty-eyed men.
The four friends were playing various instruments in various bands in
London throughout the summer of
2007. They were united to perform impromptu renditions of
Marcus' earliest attempts at song-writing in front of crowds of friends in sweaty underground folk nights in the capital. They bonded over their love of country, bluegrass and folk, and decided to make music that sounded loud, proud and live - taking music that could often be pretty and delicate, and fill it with enthusiasm, courage and confidence. "It was a very exciting time, and though we loved it and were in awe of the music going on around us, we didn't consider ourselves contenders in the pretty daunting London music scene. There was never any idea of competition, just pure enjoyment", says Marcus. They loved live music so much
that they would practise their sets on pavements outside the venues, and also act as backing musicians for the peers with whom they played- Munfordandsons.com
