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…
