I love their album Torches

I really like Pumped Up Kicks, Helena Beat and Houdini

"Call It What You Want" and "Warrant" are probably my favourite songs on the album... They're definitely a great little indie pop outfit!

They are certainly

I just noticed that Pumped Up Kicks entered the top 10 in the U.S. at 8 this week, that's very good considering Indie bands don't really get American top 10s anymore. I'm hoping for UK top 10 they've been at the edge of the top 20 it'd be good if they got higher

They are more adventurous with their music, rather than just singing about love :yawn:

Too right! Mark Foster is a fantastic writer too, i mean i thought Punched Up Kicks was a happy song BUT when you listen to the lyrics DAMN that is one sadistic uptempo

Love it to bits however

He is a great writer I hope he co-writes on other artists songs in the future, I would love to see the result of Mark and Madonna in the studio

Didn't realize Cubby is South African!

Literally my favourite band at the minute, have Torches on repeat daily.

They're pretty damn close to getting a Billboard No. 1 with Pumped Up Kicks as well!

That would be immense! I can imagine it would be a fantastic co-writing/collab! And Torches is kinda how i want Madonna to really go next! Friendly Fires/Foster The People/Naked & Famous direction and i think with this whole concept she is doing now it will just be off the wall!
