Mountain Goats

If you enjoy intelligent lyrics, great songwriting and catchy rocking riffs, The Mountain Goats are a must hear. The three piece band is composed of lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist John Darnielle, Bass Player Peter Hughes, and Drummer Jon Wurster. One of my personal favorites is a track called Lovecraft In Brooklyn on the album Heretic Pride. The band was named The Mountain Goats in 1991 in Claremont California where Darnielle was attending college and found work as a pyschiatric nurse. The band has a whopping 16 albums to it’s credit, all of which can be purchased from The Mountain Goats Check these guys out they shouldn’t be missed.
