Foster the People is an American indie pop band
formed in Los Angeles, California, in
2009. Its members are singer Mark Foster,
guitarist Sean Cimino, and keyboardist Isom Innis.
Foster founded the band in 2009 after
spending several years in Los Angeles as a struggling musician and working as a
commercial jingle writer. After
Foster's song "Pumped Up Kicks"
became a viral success in 2010, the group received a record deal from Startime
International and gained a fanbase through small
club shows and appearances at music festivals. After releasing their debut
album Torches in May 2011,
"Pumped Up Kicks" became a crossover hit on commercial radio in mid-2011 and eventually reached number three
on the Billboard Hot 100. The
record also featured the singles "Helena Beat"
and "Don't Stop
(Color on the Walls)". The group received three Grammy Award nominations
for Torches and "Pumped Up Kicks".
After touring for two years in support of Torches,
Foster the People released their second album, Supermodel,
in March 2014. It was preceded by the lead single "Coming of Age".
In July 2017, the band released their third studio album, Sacred Hearts Club,
with the addition of Isom Innis and Sean Cimino, both former touring members,
to the official lineup. From this album, their song "Sit Next to Me"
peaked at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified double platinum by the RIAA.
Torches is the debut studio album by American
band Foster the People,
released on May 23, 2011, by Startime
International and Columbia Records. In
2010, the group parlayed the popularity of frontman Mark Foster's
song "Pumped Up Kicks"
into a record deal with Startime International, and wrote the album to back the
song's popularity. "Pumped Up Kicks" proved to be a sleeper hit; after
receiving significant airplay on modern rock stations, the song crossed-over onto contemporary
hit radio and became one of 2011's most
popular songs. Four additional singles were released from the album: "Helena Beat",
"Call It What You Want",
"Don't Stop
(Color on the Walls)", and "Houdini",
which had previously been released as a promotional single in the United
Kingdom prior to the album's release.
Torches received generally favorable reviews
from critics and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.
The record peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200 in the US and number one on the ARIA Albums Chart in Australia. It has been certified platinum in Australia and the
US, the Philippines, and Canada.
Robert's got a quick hand
He'll look around the room, but won't tell
you his plan
He's got a rolled cigarette
Hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid,
yeah
He found a six-shooter gun
In his dad's closet, and with a box of fun
things
I don't even know what
But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming
for you
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my
bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my
bullet
Daddy works a long day
He'd be coming home late, yeah, he's coming
home late
And he's bringing me a surprise
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen, and it's
packed in ice
I've waited for a long time
Yeah, the sleight of my hand is now a quick
pull trigger
I reason with my cigarette
Then say, "Your hair's on fire, you must
have lost your wits, yeah"
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my
bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my
bullet
Run, run, run, run
R-r-r-run, run, run, run
R-r-r-run, run, run, run
R-r-r-run
Run, run
Run, run, run
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my
bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my
bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my
bullet.
