A brief history of Mumford & Sons
Formed in London in 2007, Mumford & Sons have released three studio albums with their second, Babel (2012), becoming the fastest selling rock album of the decade. The band have won a number of awards throughout their career including 2 Grammy Awards, a Brit Award and 4 Billboard Music Awards. Whilst the bands original material had a mainly folk sound with lyrics containing strong literary influences, they changed their sound for the third album using more heavy metal instruments and swapping banjos for guitars. Band member Ben Lovett described this transition as a "natural departure" and explained the band "felt a need for a change".
