Mumford and Sons - I Gave You All

Mumford and Sons are the first folk rock band that I discovered the old fashioned way, the radio. And for some reason I immediately felt they had already "made it". A short while later I saw they had been nominated for a Grammy.

Having your small unknown band brings great hope they will manage to gain the mass appeal that will allow them to make records for a long time, without selling out of course but that is not reality(lol?). Silversun Pickups were nominated last year and I thought things would really get moving. Many late night show appearances later, nothing. And when I speak of nothing, it relates to the mainstream media, not some hipster's plaid based blog.

Let's hope Mumford and Sons have an Oprah moment or something of the like, so they can keep producing great works of music for years to come.
