Search - The M's :: The M's

"The four M's call Chicago home, but with their fuzzy riffs and psychedelic melodies, they could be mistaken for a bunch of British tunesmiths by the names of Ray Davies, Damon Albarn, Marc Bolan, and John Lennon." - SPIN Towards the end of the summer of 2000, sweating in a dingy basement in the middle of Chicago's Ukrainian Village, four young men set up some microphones and recorded a song. In postmodern fashion, they called themselves The M's. Two years and 30-odd songs later, The M's walked down the street to Semaphore Studios and produced a four-song EP complete with hairy riffs, heavy breathing and blasting horns. The M's were added to bills with groups as varied as The French Kicks, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wilco, Rainer Maria, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Electric Six and The Walkmen. Originally planned as three separate EPs, the band's full-length debut went on to gain high praise from all levels of press. Their next album is slated to hit in late February on Polyvinyl Records and will no doubt continue the momentum of this Chicago four-piece.
