They were formed in 1995 during the rise of the '90s Post-Rock movement, and are considered one of the most influential artists of their genre, along with Godspeed You! Black Emperor. They are characterised by their lengthy instrumental pieces, use of heavy distortion effects and the relaxing melodies typical with most Post-Rock bands. Their songs have commonly been used in TV programmes, ads, and movies. Listeners will recognise 'Auto Rock' and 'We're No Here' used in the Top Gear America special. The band has released six studio albums, one live album, three compilation albums, nine extended plays, ten singles, one remix album, and one film score.

[img]http://static.blogcritics.org/10/09/01/142953/mogwai-live.jpg[/img] Awesome band. Bad thread. On a side note, I'm going to see them in Cardiff soon! :buddy:
I love Mogwai, but I've never listened enough to them. You should throw in some songs, or something. Something like Friend of the night, and Auto rock...
Updated with some songs.
[QUOTE=OctopusGuy;27236783]Updated with some songs.[/QUOTE] Awesome, I'll listen to them all :buddy: And hmm, the newest album cover looks a little cliché to me. But well, it's all about the music, so we'll see
Mogwai are just fantastic!
Would love to see Mogwai live.
Love this band. Quality music
Pretty good band.
I'm Jim Morrison, I'm dead. Brought me to this band, and I like it.

I don't like them really. They seem to plateau at the chorus in songwriting. It never seems to go past "that part that sounds cool". I've listened to three of their albums, I don't think they're bad - I just certainly don't think they're good.
Might be going to a concert of theirs soon! Big fan of their stuff.
Just for skateboarding, "Tracy" of Young Team fits so well.
This band makes me feel deppressed for the wrong reasons
I wonder were abouts in Glasgow they are from...Could be near me but anyway i kinda like em.
