The genius math-rock of Oxford’s Foals has won them fans from all over, and they are pioneers of the genre along with New York City’s very own Battles. First album Antidotes combined a stunning array of music talent and skill with the equally impressive asset of being instantly accessible, which is not something mathcore is typically known for.

Highly anticipated second album Total Life Forever is unleashed on May 10th 2010, and the band support the release with a tour of the UK and Ireland. Dates are as follows:

Liverpool, Kazimier – April 29th 2010
Newcastle, University – April 30th
