Stomp And Holler
Stomp and holler is Spotify's label for upbeat, sing-along folk rock built on foot stomps, hand claps, banjos and shouted group vocals.
The name describes the sound: a pounding kick drum or stomped beat, strummed acoustic guitars and banjos, and choruses the whole band shouts together. It groups the folk revival bands that were popular in the late 2000s and 2010s. Critics sometimes call the same music "stomp clap hey". It is louder and more anthem-like than the quieter side of indie folk.
Artists it is known for: Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, Of Monsters and Men.
