Foals are a band from Oxford, England formed in 2005. Combining poly-rhythmic tapping guitars, pulsing analogue synth, vocal melodies and chopping drum-lines, Foals create organic agitated dance-pop. The band are signed with Transgressive Records in Europe and Sub Pop in the USA. A full length album—entitled Antidotes—was released on 24 March 2008 in the UK, and 8 April in the USA.

Momentum has been building steadily over the past year for this four-piece from Leeds. Formed in early 2008, their mostly aggressive, amp-melting blend of rock took this year's Reading and Leeds festival by storm and their stratospheric rise to fame is set to continue.
