Foster the People and Taylor Swift Songs

Led by singer-songwriter, but crisp witty, subtle synth addict and Mark Foster, Foster's people are young, impetuous and responsible for the infectious track "Pumped Up Kicks", which is now available on KROQ Top 10 most played list, and one of the fast summer of 2011 hymns.

While KROQ Nicole Alvarez interviewed frontman last month in the back of Foster's KROQ, we followed them as they start their national tour - sold in most big cities - on March 8 in Soho in Country songs  Santa Barbara.

Since the live set is now five people, we talked with the original three: Mark Foster, drummer Mark Pontius, Cubbie Fink and bassist in their highly anticipated album, flashlights, due out May 24 and grabbed some recordings live their energetic live show heavy gear.

Our main take-away? Their live set 'promotes' a fun, fist pumping dance party (during the "Pumped Up Kicks", sing along with the audience.) But under the People Foster fun, synth-pop exterior, have the depth and soul band. I also managed to keep refreshing modesty and down to earth relaxed humor have taken place despite the crowds so his life from the foundation of the band, 2009.

So close to the texts of listening, "Pumped Up Kicks" and read the interview below, and you will realize there is more to FTP than meets the eye .... And be sure to 'em check out at SXSW, Coachella, or outside of Cali, a city near you!


KROQ: Soon it will be your first full-length album out May 24 What is your favorite track?

Mark Pontius: A song called "Call it what you want." And 'what we have is with Paul Epworth (Bloc Party producer, Adele and Cee-Lo Green.)

Cubbie: Me too. But the nice thing about this album, I think that's really what we are as a band. We all have very eclectic tastes in music and in our lives exploring Taylor Swift Songs various genres. In many ways, the music is cool, but also has a strange familiarity, it feels like the first, because they have heard of some many different places by train.

KROQ: often labelmates MGMT, Phoenix, Peter, Bjorn & John, etc. with respect, how does it feel?

Mark Foster: (rolls his eyes a little ') I mean, it's Taylor Swift Songs  great, but if you're a new face, which was mentioned in front of you. But next year, people are comparing another new band, The People Foster.

KROQ: Where there any unexpected muse music for the album then?

Foster: Aphex Twin. Many of my programming chops come from Taylor Swift Songs growth of Aphex Twin. As for other things? There are a lot of soul, a lot of sad songs Motown. Much influence by Brian Wilson. I lived a life listen to music too long. When I write the songs, is made of bits and pieces of what ever pull in circulation
