Modest Mouse September 14, 2007

With its angular song structure and spacey vocals, Modest Mouse's thoughtful songs stay away from any predictable formula. Isaac Brock, Eric Judy and Jeremiah Green steer each song toward wherever they seem to want to go. Former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr joined the band in late 2006. Matt Costa almost became a pro skater, but an accident shattered his leg. During his recovery, Matt directed his energy, passion and talent toward music. Matt's homemade demo found its way into the hands of No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont. Costa made such an impression that Dumont produced a self-titled 5 song EP that woul lead to a full-length, 'Songs We Sing.'
