    My favorite band is one that I tend not to tell people about because it’s too much trouble explaining what they are.

    It’s Sigur Ros, and anyone who knows them knows the struggle.

    But it’s definitely not some basic 21 Pilots that everyone knows.

      Sigur Ros is very popular

        Yeah. Imagine thinking Sigurd Ros is obscure music. If all you listen to us radio maybe. But if you’re at all interested in music you will have heard of them.

        They didn’t even fill the Cobb theater in ATL the last time they came.

        They’re certainly not very popular. I don’t know anyone in real life who knows them who weren’t introduced by me.

          Yeah I guess they aren’t as big in the US, that’s fair. But they are very popular within their genre and in Europe
