Foster founded the band in 2009 after spending several years in Los Angeles as a struggling musican .

This is interesting. I really liked that song "Pumped Up Kicks" when it came out and I wondered if the artist had any other hit but never heard any! I will have to go check if there are any other good song by this band. Do you know of any other good songs that I should listen to? I like the video too!
ReplyDeleteI love Foster the People. I think their hit song Pumped Up Kicks had such a retro sound that that's the reason it became such a hit. It just wasn't as mainstream as the rest of the music being put out there. Except that now, since it has become such a hit on the maintstream charts, its becoming a little old and overplayed, but I still sing along, and can't wait to hear more out of them :)
