The first time I listened to their cd I didnt like it to much at all. After listening to it a few more times it became my most listen to album! These guys are amazing!
Bought their album a week ago, I used to think Houdini or Pumped Up Kicks were their best songs, no idea how wrong I was, and to make it worse I didn't go to their concert and they played in my country. Fuck.
They grow on you. My favorite is Helena Beat - Letterman during show with Dave introducing them. "Call it what you want" on Letterman performance is very good also. What seems so cool is that the songs often seem like it is about to fall apart or it is just not going anywhere and then they pull it through and keep pushing through it and it really takes off. Pumped Up Kicks on Craig Ferguson is perfect also! Houdini is good too.
This is music the way it is supposed to be played! I love the way that the lead singer switched between the drum and the piano right at the beginning!
@txkuntryboy I just have tried to listen to other songs by them and I have not heard one I could listen all the way through, its going to take another brilliant written and produced song to compare to that one. Maybe if we could drop some acid and put on the album we could find some revelation within the other songs other than "Pumped up Kicks" just a brilliant written song the writer must have related too when writing it.
@txkuntryboy hey, how about giving me the second best song on the album in your opinion and I will give it a listen too, we can start there. Help me out here, I want them to stay around and not see them on the VH1 One Hit Wonder Special next decade. ??? I would be open to it. Thanks!!!
@signodecain666 maybe if you worked a day in your life you would understand sweat too, you sound like a liberal entitled person of this country, the people bringing it down.
Try listening to this song looking outside the window when you're standind e feel the bass coming in... I feel like i'm part of something huge and that i'm never alone
Omg!!! Just as fantastic as the album! All his songs are up beat and dancy! And mark is fuck hot!!! And is it true that hes married? Cuz wen they zoom in on his piano playing i dont c a ring.
It seems like every Foster The People video I watch has a top comment talking about the crowd. Like "This crowd is really lame" or "This crowd really rocks". What does it matter?
I was there, most everyone was partied out from having been walking around and going to shows all day. It was a really chill show. Portugal. The Man played as well!
seriously... FINALLY some good music. I don't know what America was thinking circa 2000-....now. I just hope people don't start liking indie because it's the ''new thing.''
Thanks to a poor college students budget i was unable to attend their last US performance in Vegas for this tour :( As a result of my ill fate, i compiled a playlist of their greatest live stuff, put on my hipster best and danced my ass off in front of my flat screen :) thanks fellow youtubers for the greatest concert i would have never been apart of :)
The lead singer can keyboard ,play the drums, and the guitar. That is a very talented guy. Love their music and they have such a great range of sound.
@theanalog808 Haha yeah tell me about it. I had to get the tickets from a reseller. The originals were 15. These were 75. I had to buy two because my mom said the only way she'd take me is if I bought her ticket. Two paychecks but I love them more than anymore so I'm as happy as can be :)
I NEED TO BUY THEIR ALBUM ASAP! cause i cannot go another day without having all of their amazing songs on my iPod! They are easily becoming one of my favorite bands.. :D
Finally, ... a decent group from the young generation. Seriously Im 46 and between Kattie Perry and Lady horse face goo gaa I almost gave up any quality "new" music.
This group is quite refreshing. Hope you kids reconize talent and fluff that will not last more than thier mere 15 minutes. Real talent is forever ~
@apatheticempathy apparently you don't listen to music very often and prefer it to be force fed to you. Go to one festival and you'll find at least ten bands with staying power. Three words: MY MORNING JACKET. go put it on
@ngarrison44 yes, so sorry when you grow up, reality doesnt let you live in festival land where you can play and frolic. Enjoy your youth now when you have no real responsibilitys. Your going to miss this time and in 40 years, you'll hear this song and you'll wish you could be there again. But trust me ... you can never go back.
I am so happy to finally have some new rock-n-rollers out there making great music for all of us to listen to. keep up the good work guys. oh yeah...thanks :o)
@ettorres1929 because of good song writing and a work ethic of course they will. a lot of bands now a days couldnt be seen death in a tshirt and jeans nevermind writing cool pop songs that you dont have to deep to like
I love you, Mark, Ponsi and Cubbie :D Mark at 3:36 o_o calm down dude
