Jools' performances are THE best, everytime i hear a really good song i say to myself, i hope they played on Jools so i can see it performed awesomely
I was supposed to see them open for Kings of Leon this year. KoL cancelled the rest of their U.S. tour. I would have been happy just seeing Band of Horses! Too bad they had to be cancelled too. These guys are great!
Southerners are taking rock back. Everybody's had their turn, even Band of Horses headed back to South Carolina from Seattle. My Morning Jacket from Kentucky is kicking ass. Even Southern California and Dawes is wailing.Yea there's not gonna be too much room for the Brits.
I agree. Don't care how they look. Pure musical genius and imaginativeness beyond any musical categorization. They're really underrated and good that way because, record labels and grammies blow.
someone, they should have warned me. that with 1 listen 3 years ago i'd become obsessed with this band. Their songs pull you in. Force you to listen and feel every chord and note. Impossible not to be moved emotionally and physically.
@proposals : you are right, they´re musicians. And I don´t understand the issue, I think they look good. They come as they are, they have personality, the singer is really really good. And, as a matter of fact, I find guys with beards cool and this one in particular even attractive :-)
So calm down everybody, if you don´t like the way they look, don´t look. But listen. It´s worth it
Those notes are hard to reach. I tried a couple days ago singing this song with my acoustic , i had to strain to get the pitch and now I feel like I have a polyp in my throat LOL. awesome song though but i think it fuked up my throat
@PaperCutChronicles i would say nothing is wrong in the spirit of music, so to speak. i guess they want that specific sound he gets playing exactly on that position of the freat board. you might get a weaker sound playing on the fret board, but whatever
traditionally, you play a bass resting your thumb on one of the pickups and strum with your pointer, middle, and ring finger. He is playing on the fret board to have his strums further from the pick ups, so it will be more of a smooth background bass rather then a rhythm pounding deep vibration sound.
@TheInevitableTaunt You're on the right track, but I don't know what a "rhythm pounding deep vibration sound is. It has to do with higher frequencies. When you vibrate something closer to the center, the low frequencies are more apparent. Hold a piece of floss tight and pluck it close to the edges and compare it to the middle. Hear the difference?
why should ball caps be worn with the younger generation? We are always young at heart. Beautiful sound.....and lyrics....who cares what you look like. we are going to look old soon enough...so stay young as long as you can!
His voice is incredible, it has that epic kinds sound, like he could be singing a jacked up mc donald jingle and it would still sound haunting and lovely
The entire band can wear fanny-packs and tutus for all I care, as long as they keep making music like this. They aren't models, people. They're musicians.
@proposals To be fair, rock and roll has always been about style conflated with substance. The aesthetic of most bands is inseparable from their sound. Could you imagine the Beatles dressing like they did in '62 while making Sgt. Pepper's?
@dashofchutmeg I disagree, for me, I have no idea what the beatles looked like, apart from the one pic of them in the zebra crossing- just that they had 'hair like The Monkeys'. Sure, I have seen pics of lennon, but it in no way influences my association with their songs. Somehow, despite my age, their songs bring me to a point in my life, happy, sad, whatever regardless of their 'image'.
proposals got a point dashofchud. it dosent matter what u wear the music comes from within. From what your feeling about your life at the time. beyond music that is what makes good art in general. and to compair the 60's era artist to todays artist is a total disregard for the evolution of culture through time. no offence i get ur point. but the times they are a'changin......my friend.
@daislor8675 I understand what you're saying, but even when the aesthetic was to look like you don't care at all (grunge, post-grunge, lo-fi), there was still an associated aesthetic.
Rock and roll has never been merely about the music. Could you imagine Pavement dressing like David Bowie? Rock and roll is a cultural artifact, and thus, elements of culture, like clothing, play a part in the experience.
@proposals People have forgotten it's about the music. The product packaging is worth more than the talent these days, to people. They wear what they like, that's how it should be. Manufactured stage personas are contrived, especially today. They're an idea in a blading, over- paid, fat cat's mind- not something that would add to the raw talent these guys possess. I agree with you.
An absolute gem of a band. It's so good to see gritty American rock again. Soooo sick of the pretty prissy boys with their fake angst!

If you see them live you'll fall in love with their music/style too. They're magnetic live.
No matter how hard you try to stay cool, you end up laughing with them, dancing, singing along. They are that great.
