If you’re a fan of mainstream rock, you’re probably familiar with Modest Mouse’s 2004 hit single “Float On.” That song, along with its followup “Ocean Breathes Salty” rocketed the group to success, but they were released over a decade — and three albums — after the band originally came together.
Modest Mouse was formed in 1992 by lead singer/guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green, and bassist Eric Judy. The band is known for putting darkly comic lyrics against an upbeat sound, which is thanks in part to Brock’s own eccentricity. There’s a lot more to this Portland-based group than you might think. This is the untold truth of Modest Mouse.

    The untold truth of Modest Mouse is they backed their car into a cop car the other day. Well, he just drove off, sometimes life's okay.
  • @CheetehZ
    Modest Mouse is my favorite band. They helped me overcome being a stranger to myself
  • @isitlucky5350
    I once saw Isaac Brock in a supermarket reading the nutrition labels on the backs of boxes of cereal. True story.
  • @beemelonhead1
    0:56 Brock decides a band name is too long.. then proceeds to name every album the longest names ever 😆
  • @righteousrat
    I never met Isaac Brock. Here's my story about never meeting Isaac Brock: I was born into this world. Heard a band called Modest Mouse, and I never met the singer--whose name is Isaac Brock.
  • Modest Mouse has been my favorite band since I was 13. I'm 34 now. The first song I ever heard was Neverending Math Equation in a bmx video. It totally changed my perspective on life.
  • @christinas.8543
    The best part about these stories--they're just the tip of the Antarctic iceberg. I've seen Modest Mouse 8 times and each show has had its own unique and crazy happenings.

    we all miss jeremiah green so much. absolute gift to the world
  • I briefly got to meet Isaac Brock once, I believe back in 2018. Had to stay around the venue at a concert in Charlotte until about 2 AM, but it was absolutely worth it. In the way that you assume you might struggle to find something to say to your heroes, when you realize you're actually going to get to meet them, I grasped for some words and came out with the fact that, The Moon and Antarctica was extremely helpful for me getting over my father's death when I was 20. He responded by a saying, he just became a father and he certainly hopes that he would be around for more than 20 years of his daughter's life. Man the world has really gotten fucking weird since then... I miss seeing Modest Mouse live. <3

    Never in a million years did I expect this channel to do a video about Modest Mouse. Thank you.
  • @Scoot21394
    Their music literally saved my life and I thought I knew everything about the band lol, thanks for teaching me differently.
  • @dvtch66
    This band has been my crutch for the past 22 years. Modest mouse is literally a part of my life. Not a day goes by that I don’t listen to at least one song and know all the lyrics as well. Top 3: 1) stars are projectors 2) 3rd planet 3) teeth like god shoeshine Those my top 3 thanks for more info on them as well. 🖤
  • I actually got to meet Issac Brock, he was performing where I live and I just got out of the mental health ward and my sister bought me tickets to go see them His music helped me learn how to better myself and express myself through my own art and music and even my old band did covers of king rat and Bukowski, even to this day I still cry every time I listen to interstate 8 and the album building nothing out of something, it’s been a long journey for me and I’m happy I chose life over ending it all
  • @Hikesoup
    The first time I saw Modest Mouse IB complained a bunch about how low the volume was, then played a 15 minute version of Tiny Cities Made of Ashes before breaking some of their equipment and walking off in a huff. I was sold.
  • @hippieman7669
    I used to know them for Float On because my guitar teacher taught it to me. I saw them live in 2021 and they were amazing, and it got me listening to them and knowing their music more. RIP Jeremiah
  • @ohpeetah6364
    That Phoenix Light bit blew my mind, can only imagine Isaacs view. Love this band! 🛸
  • Seems like the "untold" story of Modest Mouse is INCREDIBLY well-documented - you could even call it "told" - by Newsweek, AV Club, BuzzFeed, Studio 360, and SPIN Magazine
  • @erinboles8101
    Favorite band since 2004 and it's gonna stay that way till I die! I saw Isaac after a show once and said, "I saw you in the past and-" he interrupted me and said "I have no future and I have no past."
  • @ERRORMSG001
    Once upon a time in the year 2000 I walked into a little dive bar of a venue called the Orpheum in Ybor City, Fl. That might feature a little band called Modest Mouse touring their Moon and Antarctica LP. Turned out they were really F’n good and proceeded to blow my 21 year old mind.
