Artist Watch: Foster the People

The guy on the right just HAD to scratch that itch.

Hipsters beware! this band is getting on the radio faster than Rihanna farting into a microphone! Before “Pumped Up Kicks” got destroyed on the waves like Europe during WW2 I had a listen to the entire album and thought of it as one gigantic MEH. But upon further listening they’ve peaked my interest highly. The band (formed in 2009) has shot to stardom quickly with their debut album; something very rare these days. Every song has a different sound to it, but the same catchy feel that sweeps from song to song perfectly.

A familiar album cover I'm sure.

The group is making huge strides and already writing songs for their next album. When the release date is nobody knows of course; works of art take time. If you haven’t had the chance to check this band out be sure to do so. They deserve at the very least a listen.
