If you haven't heard of Mumford and Sons, I strongly recommend that you get a listen. I love finding new music and these four London guys (Marcus Mumford, Country Winston, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane) have a unique sound. The band formed in 2007, create a gutsy, old-time sound reminiscent of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young with the might of Kings Of Leon.

The title track Sigh No More is extraordinary, a statement of intent that references the romantic language of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, as they sing: "Love it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you / It will set you free / Be more like the man you were made to be."

Little Lion Man a track that was named the "Hottest Record In The World Today" on a recent Radio 1 show. It is a rampage about regret and unresolved heartbreak: "Tremble, little lion man / You’ll never settle any of your scores / Your grace is wasted in your face / Your boldness stands alone among the wreck".

"What we write about is real, and we sing and play our instruments more passionately cos we feel like we need to. We love honest music," says Winston.

These are songwriters with lyrics to match their talent.
