Foster the People

Following last week's tragic school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., Foster the People's breakthrough smash 'Pumped Up Kicks' has apparently been removed from the playlist at Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM. The song touches on school violence and famoulsy features the lyrics, "All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, / You better run, better run, outrun my gun / All

Mark Foster pulled the Foster the People card Wednesday night (Oct. 25) in Los Angeles after getting booted from a Prince club gig by a bouncer who thought the singer was taking pictures of the Purple One with his cell phone. TMZ captured video footage of Foster talking his way back in to the private concert at the Sayers Club after his ejection.

Blind auditions continued on the new season of 'The Voice' last night, offering viewers multiple opportunities to cheer, boo and be amazed by the backstories of contestants like Mackenzie Bourg, a 19-year-old who triumphed over a life-threatening illness to take the stage with his rendition of Foster the People's 'Pumped Up Kicks.'

If you’re gearing up for a Foster the People show, you should strap on your ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ because you’re in for a workout. Their dance driven pop rock keeps fans on their feet from start to finish, with the members of the band elevating the energy to a new level...

Mark Foster has all-American good looks, dance moves to rival Mick Jagger and writing credits for one of the catchiest hits of the last year to his credit. There's more to Mark than Foster the People's 'Pumped Up Kicks,' and the national stage of 'The Voice' is the perfect place for him to share his skills with the next generation of aspiring stars -- a position he himself was in not too long ago.

Up-and-coming New York rapper A$AP Rocky is a terrible singer -- which, surprisingly, is one of the many things that makes his sloppy, off-key and all-too-brief cover of 'Pumped Up Kicks' so damn fun. Rocky, who is gearing up for the September release of his debut album, 'LiveLoveA$AP,' recently laid down a cover of the massive Foster the People hit during a recording session at BBC Radio 1's Maid

Foster the People make their 'Rock Band' debut next week when two tunes from their album 'Torches' get released for the rock-themed video game. 'Helena Beat' and 'Don't Stop (Color the Walls)' both are out on Tuesday (July 24), and will be available for the Xbox 360, Wii and PlayStation 3 gaming systems.

Before they released the smash hit 'Pumped Up Kicks,' Foster the People were just another group of guys with some really big dreams -- and if they ever made it big, they told each other they'd use their fame to help the less fortunate. Now they're making good on that promise.

Foster the People's Mark Foster has recently revealed that he gave up smoking weed for good. The surprising inspiration for his recent change in lifestyle is none other than the Dogg Father himself, Snoop Dogg.

Playing in the school band isn't always cool -- sometimes literally, what with having to wear those uniforms while marching and lugging your instruments around (young tuba players, our hearts go out to you). But sometimes, it can be a thrilling experience; just ask the members of the Upper Dublin High School marching band, who recently shared a Philadelphia stage with Foster the People.
