FOALS

Many of you are plenty tired of the same ol' Klaxon sound coming out of the UK....but wait,we have hope. Foals is a 5 piece dance-punk outfit that is ready to take over 2008. Their full length album titled "Antidotes" is due out in late March which was recorded and mixed entirely by themselves. While they have similar qualities associated with that "other" UK band, the musicianship is the center piece here rather than the usual nu-rave trends. They have their first single out on Transgressive Records which you can buy here.

The first single "Balloons" comes at you straight with intertwined,spacey riffs reminiscent of Minus the Bear but still having the dance punk feel. These guys are going places.

Another big reason for selecting this post was the incredible remix from the mighty Surkin.Here he drops the acid house 303 feel and some samples which aren't coming to me at the moment.It shows a little different side of his production skills. This is gonna be a dance-floor pleaser all year long.
