Foals are undeniably good, but hell, how about a little bit of originality, boys? We all like Klaxons, that’s a given, but wholesale ripping them off, right down to the sinister backing harmonies and frantic guitars, only adding in a few cursory glitchy beeps in an attempt to differentiate yourselves? Go back a few years and we reckon this lot copied their GCSE science coursework off the spotty oik who always got full marks. The cheeky baby horses.

what a load of rubbish, and im not talking about the band, its an insult to even allow that unforgiveable misinterpretation enter your head, but i mean the review which i have just spat out my tea all over my dads breakfast!!! my day was going well, i looked forward to it, but now everything has been delayed as i must write of my anguish. The foals are not the klaxons, the klaxons are not the foals, firstly, for the person who wrote this review, to put it in terms you will understand when comparing bands, they have different names!!
"ohhhhhhhhhhh"
now for the rest of you the truth is the foals are a band full of so much energy and unique sounding funky ska pop style lose control of your balance sounding tuuuuuuuunes that you really should look out for them. I love bloc party due to their distinctive sounding melodys and meaningful lyrics, what better for anyone than to see the foals supporting them!! But it wont be long until people will be buying tickets just to watch this fivesome from oxford smash up the venues all over europe, and maybe even further :) i feel better now
