Your mind is about to be blown, especially if you're an alternative-bluegrass-"country" fan. Trampled By Turtles may be the best band you've never heard of. They're like Mumford & Sons, only a little more traditional and a helluva lot more underrated. These five boys from Minnesota know their way around the banjo and fiddle, and the best part? You can find a sampler of their music over on Noisetrade. "Victory" stood out for a summery atmosphere, sweet yet ominous lyrics and that bluegrass sound. This makes me want to pick up a fiddle and bow to force myself to learn such beauty. Trampled By Turtles is everything I love about Mumford & Sons, with an extra special something along for the ride. "Victory" is well worth any risk you might see it as. Who knows? Bluegrass might grow on you no matter what side of the spectrum you're on.
