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.
