I wasn't sure if you were aware V Festival was invented through Pulp wanting to play in two places in one day, and originated as pretty much a Britpop/Indie festival. Edit: two days But my initial comment was probably unnecessary, found it ironic though as V was pretty much set up as what would probably be seen today as indie landfill.

You are aware that not every single line has to be Shakespeare right? You could pick and choose with very nearly every band which has ever existed.

I don't rate Foals' best stuff as highly as other people. Foals are better live though. Edited February 14, 2017 by jparx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrislk89 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'm struggling here, are people seriously comparing Foals to Alt-J? or is all of this a bit tongue in cheek? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
