Foals Introduction


Foals are a 5 piece band from Oxford, England. They are currently signed to Transgressive Records in the UK and Sub Pop in the USA. They released their debut album Antidotes on 24 March 2008 in the UK, and 8 April 2008 in the USA.

Jack Bevan and Yannis Philippakis were originally in cult math rock band The Edmund Fitzgerald, which did not gain much media interest. The group was disbanded after they claimed that things had become “too serious” and they wanted to have more “fun making their music”.

Guitarist Jimmy Smith is the only one of the band members to have completed his degree at university: each of the band members quit their respective universities including Yannis and Edwin leaving their English courses at Oxford University, when the band signed to Transgressive Records by Ben Mackereth.

The lead singer of Youthmovies, Andrew Mears, originally formed the band Foals, playing as guitarist and lead vocalist. He was present on the band's debut 7” single “Try This On Your Piano/Look At My Furrows Of Worry”, but left shortly afterwards to concentrate on Youthmovies debut album Good Nature.
