Mumford and Sons sending themselves up as a p*ss-take 90s boyband is genius (Video)

You have to see this...

Mumford and Sons are the hipster London band that managed to make folk music cool again.

But don’t be fooled by their band-on-trend beards, tweed waistcoats and banjos – they haven’t always been in the vanguard of musical vogue.

Okay, Okay – they probably have and unlike most bands they probably don’t have a cringeworthy musical past.

So Jimmy Kimmel went and thought ‘F**k it! Let’s make one up anyway…’

So obviously the evil geniuses on the show came up with the most toe-curlingly cringe faux backstory they could – the 90s boyband. It’s pretty damned funny too.

Meet ‘Mumtown’. So bad, they’re good…
