Oxford, England, United Kingdom (2005 – present)

Foals are a band from Oxford, England, United Kingdom, formed in 2005. The band’s musical influences are varied. Their musical style is linked to various genres such as , and .

Current members Jack Bevan and Yannis Philippakis were originally in cult math rock band The Edmund Fitzgerald, but disbanded after they claimed that things had become “too serious” and they wanted to have more “fun making their music”. The lead singer of Youthmovies (now disbanded), Andrew Mears, originally formed part of the band, playing as guitarist and lead vocalist. He was present on the bands 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.
Hummer, the band’s first single with current line-up of Yannis Philippakis on vocals and guitar, Jack Bevan on drums, Jimmy Smith on guitar, Edwin Congreave on keyboard and Walter Gervers on bass, was released as a digital download and on vinyl on April 23, 2007.
Foals began working on their debut album, Antidotes in 2007. The album was recorded in Stay Gold Studios, Brooklyn and was produced by Dave Sitek and socialite Wendy Jane. Although content with Sitek’s participation in the album’s recording process, the band decided to do mixing of the album themselves. Antidotes was released on March 24, 2008 in the United Kingdom on Transgressive Records and on April 8, 2008 in the United States through Sub Pop.
