 ^ this is so true. I wouldnt even call them indie anymore i have heard little talks on the radio wayyyy to many times. Plus i saw them on mtv so thats going pretty mainstream. They are doing well though so good on em
on that note
fav music choice and fav trailer for this year

eventhough I already saw them this summer. I hate them for being sold out in less than an hour in Montreal for their show in a few weeks. FUCK

They're really good.

It was such an awesome concert in SLC. Little venue, maybe 200 people, chill vibe. And that trumpet solo in Little Talks. Fuck yes.

Little Talks was cool for a week. Their voices are annoying and I'm sick of 15 year old girls losing their shit over them. Overrated

Dirty Paws sounds strangely similar to Home by Edward Sharpe.

Hadn't heard of these guys before, they're pretty cool though, definitely going to listen to an album.

Never heard of them. Sounds good from what people posted in this thread; who cares if it makes you hipster? It's just good music.

yeah i saw em at osheaga, sounded absolutely amazing live. much better than studio and that definitely does not apply to all bands.

my one beef with monsters and men is that they really are a mix of Edward Sharpe and Mumford & Sons. that being said, a damn good mix. i like em lol and theyre from iceland which is cool (get it lol)

maybe i'm a hipster just like everyone else, but i think this band is just another one of these indie bands with one or two good songs but are overall pretty meh. indie's becoming just like any other kind of pop music, based around making radio singles, but i'm going to forget about all these bands in a year. gimme the national, gimme yeasayer, gimme all of these great bands that have nothing but good songs, but almost never get airtime.

I listened to the album so much when it first came out that I got tired of it in less than a month. I enjoy them it it comes up on shuffle or something but I wouldn't listen to the whole album through. I have the CD in my car.. It doesn't find it's way into the player too often.

Are you kidding. You clearly haven't listened to the whole album. Every single song on this album is incredibly awesome. It's rare that a band makes an album where every single song absolutely rules (see Arcade fire).

OMAM clearly cares a lot about music and they love what they do, its clear when you watch live footage of them.

Yessayer blows. That is all.
