Foster the People
Foster The People is an American indie pop band originating from Los Angeles, California. In January 2011, the band released their first commercial non-single release, a self-titled EP with songs such as “Pumped Up Kicks”, ”Houdini” and “Helena Beat.” Their single “Pumped Up Kicks’” was a sleeper hit, ultimately peaking at number 1 on the Billboard Alternative Songs Chart. With three Grammy nominations for Best Pop Duo/Group, Best Alternative Music Album, and Best Short Form Music Video, the band quickly established themselves as an alternative music sensation. The band has continued to release hit indie pop albums throughout the 2010s including 2014’s Supermodel and 2017’s Sacred Hearts Club, which contains another Billboard hit, “Sit Next To Me.”
