This week’s videos feature bands you should check out at Bonnaroo…
Arguably one of the breakout acts of last year’s Bonnaroo was the U.K. act Mumford & Sons. For those of you who fell in love with their foot-stomping fusion of bluegrass and English folk-rock, let me point you in the direction of fellow Brits Matthew And The Atlas. Hailing from the same West London folk scene that spawned both M&S and Laura Marling, Matthew And The Atlas’ interpretation of Americana excels on the strength of lead singer Matthew Hegarty’s melodically gruff vocals, and the band’s patient, and often times hauntingly delicate, music and gorgeous backing vocals that conjure of images of a grey and rainy London.
Let’s check out Matthew And The Atlas’ video for Within The Rose…
