Today, Mumford & Sons revealed the trailer for their upcoming tour documentary Big Easy Express , which contains footage from the band's 2011 Railroad Revival Tour in the U.S. alongside Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros and Old Crow Medicine Show . The tour saw the three bands living, eating, sleeping and recording onboard 15 vintage railcars, and the documentary is set to premiere at this year's SXSW Film Festival. You can watch the trailer for Big Easy Express above. Mumford & Sons are currently working on the follow-up to [...]

Ano passado, o Mumford and Sons se juntou às bandas Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros e Old Crow Medicine Show para uma turnê pelos Estados Unidos, a The Railroad Revival Tour . A idéia era viajar de trem por algumas cidades americanas, parando e fazendo shows. A coisa funcionou bem, e o trem virou uma caravana folk que acabou agregando novos passageiros por onde passava, incluindo até mesmo o ator Jake Gyllenhaal . Rolou shows em escolas, mini festivais, e claro, dentro do trem. O resultado de tudo isso [...]

During the spring of 2011, Mumford and Sons , Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros , and Old Crow Medicine Show toured the U.S. aboard a train as part of The Railroad Revival Tour . When not performing live, the bands ate, slept, and recorded music on some 15 vintage railcars. Now, as NME points out, their experience has been documented in an upcoming film entitled the Big Easy Express . According to press for the project, the film highlights the "bands' vibrant railway adventures; the high [...]

I had the chance to see Bon Iver at the Shrine in LA this past September. To say I was lucky to see them is an understatement. Having somehow landed tickets to their sold out show, my first experience with their music was organic bliss. They are by far some of the most talented musicians I have ever had the chance to see perform. I am ashamed to say that I only heard of them the day of the concert. Knowing not one of their songs, by the end of the concert I felt like I had been [...]

I am young. I am confused. Those are hard words to say, and even harder to embrace, especially for a writer and doubly so for one who writes about music. It's the music that is supposed to be about the young and confused, like "Baba O'Riley" and "Young Americans" and "Drunk Girls". And it's the writing that's supposed to be several stations above the puerile audience, right? Prose is meant to come over the top to slam dunk something with meaning and purpose that lives above the music, to offer kôans and quips and pirouettes of phrases. [...]

Já conhece o Of Monsters and Men ? O grupo de indie-folk islandês, que ficou na décima posição em nossa lista de melhores estreias de 2011 , até agora pouco se relacionava com os outros artistas excêntricos de seu país de origem, como Björk e Sigur Rós , ganhando comparações frequentes com grupos como Edward Sharpe , Mumford and Sons e The XX . Mas agora o coletivo islandês acaba de deixar seus conterrâneos orgulhosos, com um clipe que receberia o selo de aprovação de Jónsi e Björk [...]

Ever wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes behind the broadsheet newspaper? Just yesterday it was revealed that the Guardian , incidentally a national publication whose music department has recognised our hard work here at TGTF, will be allowing the public behind their previously closed doors to find out. This 24-25 March at their offices in King's Cross, London, the Guardian will be holding their first Open Weekend , giving people the opportunity to participate in lectures and debates by their editors, writers [...]

Neo-folk has always been a bit of a curiosity: contradictory at times and, from a purely objective point of view, you would guess that by now anyone foolish enough to wander back in to that ramshackle boathouse would find that the (combustion engine-fearing) ship had sailed. But, there is evidently a perception of a demographic with an unquenchable thirst for a technophobic troubadour, and here he is. Christopher Paul Stelling , just a man, with a guitar, again... To give 'Songs of Praise and Scorn' its due, it is a definite break from [...]

Filed under: News Glassnote I'm a huge fan of Spotify and tend to be outspoken when technophobes in the music industry make things difficult for companies helping to develop solutions for the broken system. Remember Lars Ulrich 's anti-Napster commercials? He's since learned a thing or two about the web, yet somehow Coldplay still choose money over access . Isn't it a bit ironic that Daughtry was the first [...]

If what Raccoon Village says in its press material is true, then all of its members are 19 years old, and they've only been together for about six months. That's an impressive fact when you listen to the Swedish band's two available songs, which have a serious Mumford & Sons vibe with plenty of lovely [...]

Meet my new favourite. Meet the latest signing to Despotz Record. Meet 17 year old Adna from the indie capital of Sweden, that's Gothenburg by the way. Adna has one of the most incredible voices I have heard in a long time. She finds her inspiration in artists like Bon Iver, Mumford & Sons and The Fleet Foxes, all of which clear influences on her sound. Now, Despotz just released her first single "Corner of My Heart" which is taken from an upcoming debut EP planned for release later this spring and earlier this [...]

Oberhofer lies at the tipping point of joy and nostalgia. A lighthearted air flows above the mushy blend of faded drums, shoddy guitar, plethora of quirky instruments and weak voice. Before you write Brad Oberhofer – the obvious namesake of this four piece band – off, consider this: 1) his first recordings were done in an NYU dorm room, 2) he has now signed with Glassnote Records (Phoenix, Mumford & Sons, and Childish Gambino are on their 12 band roster), which head Daniel Glass is ecstatic about and 3) he's 19 and already tugging [...]

We're going to continue featuring some of the lesser known bands listed on the 2012 Coachella line up that we think you ought to know about before you head out to Indio. The Head and The Heart was one of my favorite live acts of 2011, and their performance at last years FYF Fest was what really sealed the deal. The debut self-titled album was re-issued by Sub Pop after a ton of word-of-mouth buzz started to fly around, and thousands of copies were sold when it was just a self-release album by [...]

In retrospect, with a name alluding to the famous novella written by one of my favorite authors (John Steinbeck), it was inevitable that I would explore the music of the band Of Monsters and Men. This six-piece indie/folk band is just the latest Icelandic group to emerge from the small, remote island that seemingly produces more internationally-acclaimed musicians than it should, joining the likes of Sigur Rós, Björk, Emiliana Torrini and the last artist I interviewed, Ólöf Arnalds. In 2010, Of Monsters and Men broke onto the Icelandic music scene when they won the nation-wide battle [...]

Tommy Chase Lucas Oberhofer is a band that takes its name from the band's front man Brad Oberhofer, a recent signing to the Glassnote Records family that has bands on its roster including Mumford & Sons, Phoenix, Givers, Two Door Cinema CLub, Childish Gambino and others. Originally from Tacoma, Brad moved to New York to attend NYU, formed a band, released an EP in early 2011 and was signed to Glassnote last Summer. Oberhofer's album, Time Capsules II , is being released on March 27th. It [...]

British singer/songriter Michael Kiwanuka is a fresh cup of coffee for a world of drowsy, early morning, soul music. Michael comes equipped with melodic guitars, light percussion, and a voice that's somewhere between Otis Redding , Miles Davis , Bill Withers , and Robert Pattinson. The title track of his new CD, "Home Again", is an introspective take on the comfort and safety of home, and how you long for it when you're away. Home again , Michael's new album, will be out on March 26th 2012 on Mumford & Sons [...]
