Mumford and Sons

My favorite genre of music is difficult to pin down. I listen to anything from screamo to dubstep to rock. Although my music taste varies, I would have to say my favorite band would be Mumford and Sons. Mumford and Sons are a folk rock band in which the band members use guitars, banjos, piano, upright basses, mandolins and other instruments. They put so much passion and emotion into their songs that I always get lost in them. More than once I have been caught singing along wholeheartedly and dancing to my embarrassment  One of my favorite things about this band is that they use lines and ideas from other writers and philosophers in their music. Whether it be a song about a lost lover, finding one's own true happiness, or exploring the world and keeping an open mind I can always relate to their lyrics. The raw power in the main singer's voice accompanied with the rhythmic instruments gives me chills every time without fail. Mumford and Sons never cease to touch me or astound me with their music.

These are just my personal favorites. Between these four I would not be able to pick a favorite as I love each of them in their own way, so I figured that posting all of them would do the trick.
