Mumford And Sons

Finding their start in the London folk scene alongside artists like Laura Marling and Noah and the Whale, Mumford and Sons carved out their own, distinctive spot with their brand of rootsy folk rock.

It quickly surpassed expectations, breaking sales records within its first week and earning the foursome a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year.

Last night (April 21), Canada held its annual JUNO Awards, its version of the Grammys, and Mumford and Sons, Grimes, Metric and Leonard Cohen were among the artists to pick up prizes.
