Foals are a new band from Oxford, England. Given their tight dance beats and intricate guitar lines, comparisons to Bloc Party will be inevitable. However, if you look past the obvious and dig a little deeper, you'll find math rock influences and bits of The Cure and The Clash as well. Also of note is that there's a Travis Bean aluminum neck guitar in the band, as favored by the likes of Shellac, The Arcade Fire, and Sir Salvatore for its distinctive sound. Check out "Balloons" and get dancing (math-ily)!
