Modest Mouse is, to be quite honest, the greatest band of all time.

They hail from Issaquah, Washington, and are fronted by Isaac Brock, who, despite being raised in a trailer park, has written some of the greatest lyrics in music.

They became widely known when, in 2004, they released Good News For People Who Love Bad News, which is more upbeat than their earlier work, and it's songs (Ocean Breathes Softly and Float On) began being played by every radio station in the US, at least one an hour.

Members:

Isaac Brock - Vocals/Guitar
Eric Judy - Bass
Jeremiah Green - Drums/Percussion

One of the few Indy Rock bands of our generation who have produced albums which can be considered musical and lyrical masterpieces. They have released at least 8 records under 2 different producers: 'Up Records' and 'Epic'. Modest Mouse has a unique sound, and a habbit for memorable musical song extensions and clever song endings which lead into following songs.

1. A great band led by Isaac Brock. Brock also did Ugly Cassanova. Though they have many many great songs, some dumbass people have described them as emo - which is COMPLETELY false and retarded. I am afraid, too, that they will be considered a one-hit-wonder in the future because their only hit has so far been Float On.

American alternative rock band formed in 1993 in the Seattle suburb of Issaquah, Washington by singer/lyricist/guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green, and bassist Eric Judy. Since their 1996 debut album, This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, their lineup has centered around Brock, Green and Judy. Guitarist Johnny Marr (formerly of The Smiths) joined the band in May 2006, along with percussionist Joe Plummer (formerly of the Black Heart Procession) and multi-instrumentalist Tom Peloso, to work on the album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. Guitarist Jim Fairchild joined the band in February 2009.

The most awesome band.

Evar.

They've always been godly. However, with their latest album, "We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank", they have reached a new level of godliness. They have reached the Cthulhu level of godliness. I would sacrifice newborn children to them if they requested it, and I consider myself lawful good. I would give myself up sexually to all the members if they requested it, and I'm not homosexual. They have the uncanny ability to become incredibly popular, yet at the same time remain completely and totally indie. They are awesomeness incarnate.

Modest Mouse, no matter wat any1 says, did not sell out...dammit it doesnt mean selling out if 1 of ur songs actually gets played on the radio...and their music hasnt changed from their last album at all.

The second best band, after Radiohead.

definatly amazing, but its sad to hear there selling out...now heard on the radio and being talked about by all...there goes a great band *salute*
