Foals

Almost crucified by hype on the eve of the release of 2008 debut album Antidotes, Foals - a five-piece formed after the demise of Oxford's The Edmund Fitzgeralds - came out the other side to play the hell out of it in bigger-by-the-tour venues. Why the excitement? Early singles 'Hummer' and 'Mathletics' - neither subsequently included on the album - will tell you all that's needed to know. Album number two should be finished the right side of 2009.
