FOALS
foals.co.uk

Just to give you a horse lesson, a foal is a horse that is under one year old. When a horse has its first birthday, it is then a yearling. With that out of the way, Foals are an Oxford band that seems popular with the NME youth. Their third album, Holy Fire is coming out February 11th, 2013 (February 12th for USA). Internet fans will be happy to know that Foals are streaming their new album in its entirety on their website. Warner Bros Records told me that "Holy Fire will stream three times before disappearing."

The only US dates that Foals are confirmed to play are Coachella (04/13 and 4/20), but expect the band to do a number of smaller shows of and around the West Coast (if not a national tour).

In the meantime, the band will be doing some UK dates.
