Supermodel is the name of the game and Foster the People play this game well. Coming off of their debut very well. Their first album titled, Torches, had hits such as Pumped Up Kicks and Don't Stop, was a success in its own. Recently hitting Platinum on the music charts, the group had to find a strong way to follow up their first success. After Pumped Up Kicks, the band became famous very quickly and found themselves needing a manager and a label.
Mark Foster, the front man for the group, decided to manage the band's affairs in North America but signed a record deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing for affairs outside of North America. Their new managers at Sony wanted to push for a tour to get the group exposed and out in the open. Little did they know it would be a struggle because the band had little to non with their experience in performing in a tour setting. This brings us to the point, what type of music are they?
Foster the People are classified as Rock/Alternative known as Alt/Rock. They have been nominated for several awards and have even won a few. Their biggest award was at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards where they won Top Rock Song with Pumped Up Kicks.
This group is dynamic so I suggest you keep your eyes on them. I recommend that you take notice because soon this group will be taking over. For now, Asian out!!!
