10 Perfect Rock Albums For Summer 2022
10. Foals: Holy Fire (2013)
Ever a staple at British music festivals, Foals have spent close to fifteen years crafting the perfect combination of hard rock and irresistible dance music. No matter your musical predilections, chances are you know a couple of Foals numbers, and if you do, you've likely busted a move or two to them. Their unique fusion of math rock rhythms, post-punk attitude and dance inducing hooks make them an essential in any summer playlist.
Although Foals have continued putting out strong records over the years, nothing screams summer like their third studio album Holy Fire. Featuring the group's highest charting single "My Number" it's the album that transformed them from indie-darlings to international big hitters. "My Number" alone warrants this album a space on this list. With a melody that's as chant-able as "Seven Nation Army" - but far more groove inducing - this is a must for boozy BBQs or impromptu park drinks.
Another crowd pleaser at festivals comes in the form of the two step inducing, "Inhaler". This is one for when the crowd gets a little more raucous - they've just had their first dance to shake off last night's hangover and now it's time to enter the mosh.
