Foster The People was created in 2009 and is an indie dance group from Los Angeles, California. The band was originally called Foster & The People but fans misheard it as Foster The People and Mark liked it so the name stuck. It's members include Mark Foster on vocals, keyboard, guitar, programming and percussion, Cubbie Fink on bass and backing vocals, and Mark Pontius on drums. Although the band only has three members they are assisted in live shows by Sean Cimino and Isom Innis. The band is becoming increasingly popular thanks to their hit song "Pumped Up Kicks".
I enjoy the band Foster The People because they they mix together many different genres within their songs, some of these genres include alternative rock, electronica and indie pop. My favorite song from the album torches is Pumped up Kicks because it mixes an upbeat tune with darker lyrics, which provides an interesting contrast in the lyrical and musical composition. Mark Foster also has an wide vocal range, mixing together high and low pitches in songs such as "Waste" and "Houdini" which I think adds a lot of character to their songs. So if you enjoy upbeat music with catchy rhythms and great lyrics then you'll love Foster The People.
As always I have posted some of their tracks on the music player in the bottom right corner of my page.
