The Foster Kids bring 60s guitar pop; pause to namecheck crappy bands
So you have a band from Norfolk that look like that and have an album entitled At Home With The Foo Fighters. It’s a wonder that a gentle indiepop connoisseur such as myself didn’t pass straight by. To say that what I got when I pressed play was unexpected is something of an understatement.
This is 60s-influenced guitar pop, with male-female back and forth vocals, rising guitars and a punchy little melody. The song below, Before You Change My Mind, wouldn’t feel entirely out of place on a Saturday Looks Good To Me album now that I think about it. Lyrically it isn’t the strongest thing I’ve ever heard, but really I’m just splitting hairs. They certainly don’t make them quite like this anymore. Particularly in Norfolk.
All of which leaves us with the lingering question of “Why the Foo Fighters?”, to which the band reply with a far more pertinent question: “The Foo Fighters, why?”.
At Home With The Foo Fighters is out now on digital download via Letterbox Records for £4.99.
