Pumped Up Kicks!

There is a massive amount of hype surrounding the indie rock/pop band Foster The People, and for once i think it is well deserved. Their songs are extremely catchy and the lyrics are both deep and clever.

Who would have thought that after cutting through the poppy chorus of Pumped up Kicks that the lyrics would reveal a story about a student going on a high school shooting spree?

"all the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, outrun my gun.

all the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet"

Pumped up Kicks:

Definitely have a listen to the rest of their EP and a new album will be coming out shortly. This band seems to have potential. Hopefully it will fill the void of MGMT and do so without having to mimic their sound.

As a side note, i haven't posted in a few weeks mainly because i have been flat out with exams and such, but i shall be getting back into it again. Thanks for reading!
