Usually bands that are owned by major labels are created to sell records, mostly because they have pretty faces and maybe a pretty voice. But the majority of what you hear on their albums, is the relentless work of the producers to take trash and turn it into gold. Bands like Mother Mother, Grizzly Bear, Said The Whale, etc. are true blue musicians who can sometimes record an amazing song in one take.
It blows my mind how biased and democratic the music industry is these days.
how the hell can you compare this band to radiohead? i'm sorry but not even close, i really like this band and their pop music sounds fucking awesome but radiohead is not in the business of pop music if you look at a majority of their music, two different genres and really two different goals. if you want to see depth and passion in the lyrics then you're going to go to radiohead, if you want to hear something that's going to make you feel good and maybe even dance then you'll find mother mother
As much as i love mother mother's music, i still think that before i knew about them, i would be very creeped out to be walking along and find this trio randomly playing on the steps
@RadioSSteller lol I'm gonna have to agree with McPIEmuLegs. I'm Canadian, and all those (except for The Tragically Hip) are shit. How about: Leonard Cohen Joni Mitchell Tragically Hip Barenaked Ladies Bruce Cockburn New Pornographers k-os Neil Young Bachman-Turner Overdrive and of course Mother Mother. To name a few.
nice! good choices, really the bands that i named arent my favorite at all, i just named all that i could come up with and wanted to right.. again good choices i totally forgot barenaked ladies were canadian!
Cool, yeah, I usually have trouble coming up with more than the crappy bands when I try to think of Canadian musicians... other than Leonard Cohen, who is in my opinion the greatest lyricist and songwriter in modern history...
@artvandelay13 I know its terrible when ever you try to prove a point or something, your mind instantly comes up with the worst data to prove that point.
@artvandelay13 Matthew Good Band...The Tragically Hip...Billy Talent...Metric...Arcade Fire...K-os...Ill Scarlet...Alexisonfire...The Barenaked ladies...City and Color...Cancer Bats...Finger Eleven...Great Big Sea...Neil Young...Heart...The New Pornographers...the list goes on and on, give Canada some more credit will you?
they are so dam good live, bands usually suck live... this is almost better than the recorded version!!! this is my new favorite band!!!! sorry radiohead :(
@jonnybravo2525 this is definitely the truth. they're so much better live, whenever i listen to their songs on my ipod, it makes me sad that none of them are the live versions.
I think this might be the first video I've seen without a single dislike. If any band deserves that, it's Mother Mother.
