Foals are an English Indie-Rock band from Oxford. They released their debut album "Antidotes" in 2008 and their second album Total Life Forever, was released in 2010 and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. The boys behind this Amazing band are; Yannis Philippakis(vocals), Jack Bevan, Jimmy Smith, Edwin Congreave and Walter Gervers. Foals likes to be self-sufficient, so all of the music videos are created by their friend Dave Ma and all of the artwork is also done by their friend Tinhead. Like all good bands it took a few dud bands to get to the brilliance that is Foals, Jack, Eilish and Yannis were originally in the band The Edmund Fitzgerald which then broke up because they wanted to have more fun with making music. Walter and Jimmy were apart of a small Oxford band called Face Meets Grill.
"Foals is a band that is more about the music than the lyrics, its the perfect chilling-in -the-afternoon-in-Mozambique-with-mates-and-food music" said my "music guru" and I couldnt have said it better myself. I'm listening them whilst I write this and I'm just asking myself why I didn't hear about them earlier!I mean, what's better than boys that sing Indie music with English accents? In my case - Nothing.
