An indie band made up of Isaac Brock the lead singer, Eric Judy the bassist, and Jeremiah Green the drummer. They've released four albums: This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About, The Lonesome Crowded West, The Moon and Antarctica, and Good News For People Who Love Bad News. They're an amazing band because of their quirky lyrics that somehow make sense in the end.

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.

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.
