If you compare to a new headline status band like Biffy then Foals look pathetically weak. As I said previously "Foals don't exist off of this forum."

[dentalplan]

They sold out Ally Pally in nine minutes, but obviously that was because me, DGrant and Gazza's cousin bought a few thousand tickets each.

[devilman]

Obviously.

[Shikari20]

Who even are foals? Sure their that band with that shit song from the last fifa

[#FreeComTruise]

Would it help if one of their songs was used on Skins?

The only 2 songs I can actually recall from Skins are the Gossip one, and Bon Iver's Woods

If you compare to a new headline status band like Biffy then Foals look pathetically weak. As I said previously "Foals don't exist off of this forum."

Biffy have had 3 top 10 albums, same as Foals, and that includes Opposites which was their first number 1 and arguably propelled them to headline status (along with Only Revolutions). Biffy have also only had 3 top 10 singles from twice as many albums, so I don't think that's a very good comparison.

"Foals don't exist off of this forum." definitely isn't accurate either, going by twitter at least, they're one of the most popular bands for my age group, up there with Arctic Monkeys even.

Foals only really need an album as popular as their last, which is what most people here are expecting to happen, to really warrant a push up.

Royal Blood?

Wild World?

Wild World?

I'd tried to purge that scene from my memory.

[Andre91]

Foals were so dull in 2013. It's obvious that the festival love them and want to push them up, but I'm more and more expecting them to sub next time they play. I thought The Vaccines would be headlining off of their third album, but that isn't happening. Have Foals co-headline with Bloc Party

I was guessing Wrong Number.

I asked 2 teenagers (18 and 14) what the thought of Foals today. "Is that one of your crap metal bands" was one answer and the other said "who?" I'll shut up now, there is nothing to be gained by making my point again. They aren't as popular as some of you think they are. I quite like them for the record.

I actually agree, none of my friends knew who they were when I suggested them for sub, they know My Number but yeah they're not as well known as people make out in this forum, not like Biffy Clyro were in 2013 cause opposites was bigggg

One of those is a live album, they've had 3 top 10 studio albums, so not really.

I asked 2 teenagers (18 and 14) what the thought of Foals today.

2 whole teenagers. Wow.

[Yellow_Fellow]

"Is that one of your crap metal bands" was one answer

This is far more indicative of you and the people you hang with than anything to do with Foals

[Gucci Piggy]

These two teenagers can't be very relevant to the R&L demographic if they've never heard of a band that played third from top there 2 years ago.

If they know a Foals song I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess they know who Foals are.

Also what is it with new people on this forum suggesting bands to their friends? How boring must people's conversations be if they involve talking to them about festival placings of bands they've never heard of? And if these people have never heard of Foals I doubt they'd be that into R&L, so everything about this is just baffling to me. It's justanothername-ness gone mad.

Alternatively it's all shit and they all know who Foals are.

I don't even really care about Foals and couldn't care less if they headline or not. Rather have Depeche Mode (would cry or die etc.).

I'll just put it out there, no one connected to me is ever likely to buy tickets to a Foals gig

Is that because everyone connected to you is actually you?

[justanothername]

Where are all these teenagers that haven't heard of Foals? I know loads of people that have heard of them and most of them like Foals
