Foals Biography

Foals are a band from Oxford, England. 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. It was produced by socialite Wendy Jane and Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio though the band chose to mix the record themselves.

Guitarist and vocalist Yannis Philippakis was voted 45 in music magazine NME's 2007 Cool List. He was also voted 27 in NME's 2008 Cool List. He is an avid collector of analogue tape echoes and a believer in the Evil Eye. Despite the dance-punk sound, the band is heavily-influenced by math rock, techno, post-rock and minimalism.
