Los Angeles based indie-pop band Foster the People has definitely got my attention with their summertime essential “Pumped Up Kicks”.  Possessing a sound that embodies the beyond catchy hook creativity of MGMT and the melodiousness of Pete Bjorn and John using the whistle flawlessly throughout their composition, I would be surprised not to find that these LA natives are not on their way to blowing up just as MGMT did in the summer of 2008.  It’s only a matter of time before the album drops and people begin to foster their music and show them some reciprocity. Make sure to check out their website here and join their email list for updates on what they have in store for us all in the coming months. Enjoy!
