  • In the first episode of Music That Made Me, BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders speaks to Yannis and Jimmy from Foals about the songs that have shaped their lives
    The band first rose to fame in 2008 with their debut album Antidotes and soon became known for their theatrical live performances, often so pumped up that Yannis would leap off stage. A decade later and Foals area headline act, have sold 1.7 million albums and been streamed 650 million times.
    From rock riffs to tender lyrics, they are a band that can do it all. We meet them in their rehearsal studio to discuss their defining relationships with the music that has formed who they are to date.

    It’s crazy that after all these years, FOALS still feel like an underground secret to me. I want them to blow up but don’t. I know many of you feel the same.

    Seems like Foals are the only ones that successfully carried over "indie" into the actual century in a way now one else has. Their music evolved in such a beautiful way. They may be one of few bands that will remain timeless

    Yannis does have the propensity to jump off of railings and ladders in shows. It adds to theatricality of the shows. Those lads put on a great show. If they come to a city near you, I highly recommend you seeing them live. They are massive LIVE!

    Not really getting all the hate for the interviewer? I'm admittedly new to the band, but he seems passionate and appears to have a pretty decent knowledge of the band. Questions may be semi-standard, but is that that much of an issue? I'm down with him.

      Totally agree, he's essentially a fan, and he's got the right mix of enthusiasm and professionalism for an interview in my opinion. I've seen way, way worse than this. I enjoyed his questions and overall approach. But we're all different.

      From a brief read-through of the comments, it seems to stem from two things:
      I) Failure to understand that the function of an interviewer for general media is to assume the point of view of the most ignorant audience member.
      II) Failure to understand that the band aren't watching them being ignoramuses and wouldn't cheer for them even if they were.

      @@lLostGems Not really it's meant to be about the new album and their process making it. The whole point of an intro is to give people an idea of what they're like and what influences they draw from. It was a very generic intro.

      @@TheKennyboy92 yeah that's what the rest of the interview does. The intro 'introduces' people that are potentially not familiar with Foals, and builds up to get into detail. He literally ends the introduction with: ''...to discuss their defining relationships with the music that has formed who they are.''
      But if you find it ''absolutely terrible'' that's fine too, I really enjoyed the interviewer.
