Foals bought the energy and enthusiasm with them to Rough Trade on a snowy February evening that makes their new album Holy Fire such a good record.

 

A short five song set, which included two new singles Inhaler  and My Number had the majority teenage audience captivated from the start. This was it though, teenagers. Some, who had been there since 05.30 in the morning to secure a wristband were mesmerised at the feet of Yannis Philippakis, who in all honesty didn't seem to take a blind bit of notice.

 

Foals were too concerned with the material than the attention that comes with it. Off the back of this short performance we can expect big things from Foals this year.
