'bout damned time.

Now all they need to do is hop up on in their chevy with a lift kit and cruuuuuuuuuuuuise.

These frick tards are just as bad as the radio bs.

I like them, sorry.


I don't think they are some creative band I have never heard, but they have some good songs.


funny article nonetheless

civil war wave bands

a lot of it is marketing, from the way they dress, to the instruments etc

it comes off kinda cheese to me...

Wow. I feel dumber for having read that. I read a few of their other articles, and even when they were ripping on people I also hate (Grimes, Grizzly Bear, etc), it was still incoherent yelling.

But whatever. I think Civil Wars are boring, too, but I think I may just buy their album to irritate the ten monkeys pounding on typewriters who churned out that article.

I find the whole movement boring... Don't get me wrong, I like some of the songs... I don't seethe with anger if I hear them... Just nothing I would ever buy and listen to on my own...

I don't think I've ever read an article whose author is so completely engrossed in bitterness and anger at something. That read was hilarious.

But you have to admit, Woody Harrelson has some serious range of talent.

I, for one enjoy them. They aren't any bastion of musical creativity. But its nice to hear a banjo and some regionally styled music again. Their appeal is the same appeal that attracts those southerners that still dress up to go to football games. Southern nostalgia at its best.

Don't forget that insufferable copycat, Phillip Phillips.

Mumford can DIAF as far as I'm concerned. I'd rather some folky bluegrass over this sappy shite anyday

Y'all know hipster runnoff is satire right?

The same bands they rip are the ones they are playing on Sirius xmu on blog radio.

Check out the mainstreamer on there its hilarious.
