Foster the People is an American indie pop band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 2009. Its members include founder and frontman Mark Foster, guitarist Sean Cimino, and keyboardist Isom Innis.[6]
Foster founded the band in 2009 after spending several years in Los Angeles as a struggling musician and working as a commercial
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.[8]
History
2008–2009: Background and formation
Foster played in several bands, including one with which he auditioned for a record deal in New York.[12] After turning 22, he says he was contacted by Aftermath Entertainment about showcasing his musical talents, but the opportunity ultimately fell through. Foster's first professional experience as a music artist was as lead vocalist on the 2006 song "Breakdown" by the Toques. For the next few years, Foster waited tables at a cafe while dealing with writer's block, but he remained in Los Angeles after landing a job as a commercial jingle writer for Mophonics in 2008.[9][13] He said of the profession, "I definitely learned from the commercial standpoint what works,"[11] and he credited it with reviving his confidence in performing.[9] The music Foster wrote spanned a wide range of genres, but he had difficulty reconciling his eclectic compositions. He explained: "I'd write one song and it'd be a hip-hop song. I'd write another and it'd be heavily electronic. Another would be like a spiritual, and another would be classic piano song. I was constantly trying to pull those elements together. It took me six years to do it."[11] He still wished to be part of a group; reflecting on a residency he did at a venue performing electronic music, he said, "It was just me and a laptop. Really, it was terrible. I knew I needed a band."[9]
Band formation and first shows
Foster the People was born out of a nascent relationship with drummer Mark Pontius, a film school student who left his group Malbec to found a band with Foster in Fall 2009.[9][14][15] At that time, Foster had released and was playing shows supporting a solo album; Pontius was impressed by the number and diversity of songs that Foster had written to that point, saying, "Some were on the guitar, and some were on the computer. But it was this really awesome singer-songwriter thing with a tricked-out beat, and I felt we could go wherever we wanted with this."
Foster the People (as "Foster & The People") played their first show on October 7, 2009 at the Dakota Live Music Lounge;

Mark Foster originally named the band Foster & the People, but people misheard it as "Foster the People". Eventually, he took to the nurturing image it evoked of "taking care" of people, so the name stuck.[27]
2010: Initial attention for "Pumped Up Kicks" and record deal
Not long after the group formed, Foster wrote and recorded a song at Mophonics called "Pumped Up Kicks", which eventually proved to be the band's breakthrough. After Foster posted the song on his website as a free download in early 2010, it drew considerable attention; Nylon magazine used the track in an online advertising campaign,[28] and through various blogs, it went viral.[29] The group, yet to be signed, garnered buzz with performances at the South by Southwest music festival in March 2010.[30][31][32]
Foster was emailed by many people about "Pumped Up Kicks", and needing professional guidance, he contacted artist manager Brent Kredel at Monotone, Inc. in March, saying, "Everyone is calling me and emailing me—what do I do? Who are the good guys, who are the bad guys?
After Foster the People signed their record deal and to avoid burnout, Startime allowed the group to pace themselves and not rush an album that would cash in on the popularity of the song. From July to September 2010, the group wrote new material that would appear on their debut album, and they chose Paul Epworth, Rich Costey, and Greg Kurstin to co-produce the record with Mark Foster.[28]
2010–2011: Initial tour and music licensing
Without much experience as a live act, Foster the People were booked in October 2010 to play several club shows. At this point a trio, the band recruited musicians Sean Cimino and Isom Innis to tour with them.
Foster the People issued its first commercial non-single release in January 2011, a

The band was named in a lawsuit filed by Brandon Dorsky on May 24, 2011, alleging a breach of an oral contract between him and Foster, and that Dorsky had named the band.[9] The case was settled for an undisclosed amount in July 2011.[citation needed]
Foster the People appeared as the musical guest on the October 8, 2011, episode of
2012–2015: Supermodel and side project
Mark Foster and unofficial bandmate Isom Innis debuted their electronic music side project, Smims & Belle, at Hard Summer in August 2012.[44] (Mister) Smims is Foster's DJ name, while (Southern) Belle is a moniker used by Innis.[45][46] The duo's songs include "Ghetto Blastah" (with a music video directed by Michele Civetta),[47] and "Beat Illuminati". Smims & Belle released an official remix of Lana Del Rey's "Blue Jeans", featuring a bespoke rap verse from Azealia Banks.[48] The project's unreleased material includes remixes of tracks by Little Dragon, Florence + the Machine, and The Internet.[12] Smims & Belle have been inactive since around 2015, coinciding with increased production responsibilities for Foster and Innis within Foster the People.[49]

The band promoted "Coming of Age" by releasing a time-lapse music video of a seven-story mural of the Supermodel album cover being painted in downtown Los Angeles.
On March 24, 2015, during an interview in Paraguay, Foster the People announced that they were working on a third album. When describing their upcoming record, they said that "the first record was more, kind of, electro-pop, the second record was more of a rock record, and I think this one is going to be a little more hip hop."[59]
On September 23, 2015, Foster the People announced that Fink would be leaving the band to pursue other opportunities. He stated, "I would like to express my extreme gratitude to our fans for your incredible love and support over the last four years. It was a true gift getting to perform for such loyal, passionate, and heartfelt people. I will miss playing and seeing all of you on the road. God bless you all."[60] During an interview in 2018, Mark Foster admitted that Fink's departure had been less than amicable and that they have not since kept in touch. He said, "That was really hard. He's like family. We were friends before I started the band. I dated his sister for over a year and thought I was going to marry her. His parents were like my parents. It was really rough, and it wasn't until the past nine or so months where we felt able to move forward. [...] We have mutual friends, and I've heard he's doing well. But it was a bad breakup. It was a very high pressure situation for a number of years, but we did so much together. The first Coachella and the first time playing SNL was together. It's like we were in a foxhole together. We experienced things that nobody else will ever understand, and so it was really hard."[61]
On April 24, 2015, the film Little Boy was released where Mark Foster co-produced the soundtrack for the film,[62] with one track featuring Mark Pontius. On November 27, 2015, Foster the People released a stand-alone single: "Ruby." On December 8, 2015, they released another song called "The Unforeseeable Fate of Mr. Jones" through BitTorrent.[63]
2016–2018: Sacred Hearts Club
On October 9, 2016, Foster the People played at the Rocking the Daisies Music Festival, performing three new songs from their upcoming third studio album: "Lotus Eater", "
They have also expressed their feelings on the recent spike in gun violence in the United States by showing their support for leaders of the March on Washington for Gun Control and other protests.[69]
2018–present: In the Darkest of Nights, Let the Birds Sing EP, departure from Columbia Records, and departure of Mark Pontius
From November 6, 2018, the band would periodically release a new single every few months. These consisted of the four songs "Worst Nites", "Style", "Imagination", and "Pick U Up", all released within the window of November 6, 2018 to September 6, 2019, though they were never included on an album. All singles would eventually be accompanied by a music video that were directed by Mark Foster, who had previously only directed one music video, Pseudologia Fantastica back in 2014.[70] Young & Sick, who designed the cover art for Torches and Supermodel, designed all the cover art for each single as well. Imagination gained notable popularity compared to the rest of the singles, boasting over 110 million streams on Spotify and over 82 million views on YouTube.[71]
Around this time Foster the People departed from their longtime label, Columbia Records. Band member and drummer Mark Pontius revealed on the first episode of his podcast that the group had split from Columbia Records and are currently operating independently.[72] In one article, frontman Mark Foster reveals that when it comes to contractual agreements, Columbia Records had agreed to let the band operate independently; Foster also stated that he feels lucky that he and the band never went through "horror stories of labels trying to force us to do a collaboration with somebody that was just a bad idea" and that Columbia Records as a whole was "really supportive".[73] Foster goes on to say that when it comes to the modern-day music industry, "...the way that music's consumed has changed. There's a fluidity with streaming that's really powerful: to be able to go direct to a fan, to cut out the middle man, to not worry about having hard sales, making CDs, and getting them on the shelves in stores. None of that stuff really matters anymore." Foster finishes on the note that the most important part of splitting from their label is the fact that they will be able to "retain all of our rights" to all music released going forward.[73]
On March 24, 2020, the group released their first independent song, ultimately separate from the EP, "It's OK to Be Human". The song's single cover references the COVID-19 pandemic with its lyrics calling for encouragement.[74][75]
On May 18, 2020, the group announced that the sixth single "Lamb's Wool" would be released on May 22, 2020. A visualizer for the song was released the same day.[76] Band member and drummer Mark Pontius revealed on the first episode of his podcast that the group has split from Columbia Records and are currently operating independently.[72]
On July 9, 2020, the group released a seventh single called "The Things We Do," which focuses on police violence and racial inequality in the United States. All proceeds of the song will be donated to four charities: 25% is going to Black Lives Matter International, 25% to The Bail Project, 25% to Rebuild Foundation, and 25% to The Underground Museum.
In October 2020, Isom Innis and Sean Cimino released an eponymous EP for their side project, Peel.[77]
The group released an eighth single titled "Under the Moon" on November 13, 2020. This was followed EP titled In the Darkest of Nights, Let the Birds Sing, released on December 11, 2020. The tracklist included the three pre-released singles; "Lamb's Wool", "The Things We Do", and "Under the Moon", along with the recently debuted "Cadillac", and two new songs: "Walk With a Big Stick" and "Your Heart Is My Home". Mark Foster said in a 'Live at My Den' interview that most of the EP was written throughout quarantine, where the band passed around different projects until 'the EP felt complete'.
On May 23, 2021, Foster the People released a teaser to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their debut album Torches titled Torches X.[78] The anniversary album, which features new and remixed tracks from the exclusive editions, released on November 12 the same year. To celebrate, they released the track "Broken Jaw" which was originally exclusive to the iTunes edition.[79]
On October 13, 2021, Mark Pontius left the band to focus on raising his daughter,[80] leaving Foster as the only founding member still in the band.
On October 29, 2021, the group teamed up with Canadian DJ Deadmau5 to release a new single titled "Hyperlandia", which had been in the works since 2016.
In November 2021, the band performed Torches X concerts at the Wiltern, which were live-streamed worldwide via the Moment House platform.[81]
