If your takeaway from Mumford and Sons was “decent, but needs more yelling by packs of drunk-sounding bros,” you’re gonna love Wu Lyf.
this is what i like about them though: everything about WU LYF is hyper-masculine to the point of camp. from the lit-up logo they position behind themselves on stage, to their propensity for shirtlessness, to the near incomprehensible grunting vocals, they elevate so many things about anthemic arena rock to absurd levels without actually coming off as a joke. maybe they’re deadly serious about it all, or maybe it really is at least a bit tongue in cheek, but whether it’s intentional or not is really beside the point.
also, i wish people would go beyond the knee-jerk U2 comparison for bands like this. maybe it’s not completely inaccurate, but are they really the ONLY reference point?

Hate all these bands so much. The worst possible outcome of the Arcade Fire Grammy.

I prefer to describe WU LYF as “caveman U2.”
