Ok, this band is soo good I had to make a thread about them. They have been around since the mid 90s and they play some of the best music Ive ever heard. So be a nice person a download some songs, like...
A Different City Dramamine Edit the Sad Parts Never Ending Math Equation Workin' on Leavin' the Livin' Life as Weeds Talkin' Shit About a Pretty Sunset Heart Cooks Brain Truckers Atlas Shit Luck 3rd Planet Night on the Sun Interstate 8 Broke The Cold Part The Stars are Projectors Trailer Trash Exit Does Not Exist Long Distance Drunk Alone Down There Grey Ice Water
So many others, but these are some of the best.

I've heard of them, but haven't heard anything of theirs... I remember seeing their name often in the "Coming Performances" section of the L.A. Times. how's their sound? I have a 56k modem, and it takes me 20-45 minutes to DL a song... I need DSL

Their sound is unlike anything Ive ever heard. Each album is unique and diverse. They can do everything from write a 10 minute long rock song (Truckers Atlas) to an acoustic ballad (Lives). Please, please check these guys out.

exactly ryan... they are really experimental and most people dont "get them". Their lyrics are very abstract but they are really catchy, youll find yourself singing them walking down the street or something. The lead singer, Isaac Brock, uses a lot of metaphors in his lyrics too... example:
"Well the universe is shaped exactly like the earth If you get straight long enough You'll end up where you were" -"3rd Planet"

Hey Paranoid, which was your favorite song you downloaded? They have some really hard songs too, like... "Teeth like God's Shoeshine" and "Beach Side Property." But I agree, their more mellow songs are superb. They have the best guitar riffs and solos.

some sad news... modest mouse drummer, Jeremiah Green, has left the band to persue a side project. thankfully, the band isnt broken up, they got a new drummer and are currently recording their new album. THANK GOD!

I'm liking the sound of these guys. I just downloaded "Alone Down There" and "3rd Planet". Most bands that people bang on about i find are real shit. I'd never heard of Modest Mouse before, but then again I don't know many bands, you guys know Rueben??

its good to see that The Mouse is gettin some love. if you really wanna be impressed, go to www.knerd.com/~bwillen/ModestMouse.HTM and go to the SOUND SECTION and download the live album they have on there. the sound quality isnt great but it shows that theyre a great live band.
