Modest Mouse
Hometown: Issaquah, Washington
Under the close tutelage of Indie Rock kingpin Calvin Johnson, Modest Mouse have cultivated a folk-tinged Emo sound that is nothing less than inspiring. Blending grainy, high-pitched vocals with the catchiest of guitar hooks and an aversion to traditional rock song structures, this humble threesome churn out track after track of gut-wrenching emotive romps. Not afraid to soar from melodic acoustic ballads to screeching digressions that verge on Jam Rock, Modest Mouse strike a balance between musical energy and expressive candor – finding an angsty, melancholic purity that eludes other Emo bands.

Featured Review from TheOnion
February 26, 2009While it’s true that Modest Mouse currently suffers from having too many cooks in the kitchen—it’s difficult to keep track of who all is accompanying singer-guitarist Isaac Brock, bassist Eric Judy, and drummer Jeremiah Green these days—there’s no denying that this former little indie band that could is now a major player in the alt-rock scene. more at austin.decider.com

Buzz Bands LA on Modest Mouse
about 1 month agoWho: Modest Mouse on the main stage In 3 or Fewer Words: Lonesome Crowded Mess Memorable Because: Modest Mouse broke my heart. We can only speculate on the state of Isaac Brock's mind Friday night, but if one of the true poets of your generation publicly sang from "The Lion King" and asked everyone else to hum for his dumb-giggling amusement, you might draw some conclusions that logically end in 12 steps.
