10 Best Rock Songs Of The 2020s (So Far)

FOALS recently dropped a new single in anticipation of their upcoming album. With a guitar line and vocal hook reminiscent of Talking Heads, it's an intriguing insight into what direction these guys are going in.

Funky chord work, lyrics that express a desire for change and a dance beat to help shake away the blues of the previous year, this is exactly what we've needed.

Talking to NME, Yannis Philippakis stated that the band purposefully set out to write something intended to alleviate the clinging anxiety leftover from the pandemic. And thats exactly what this track does.

You have those familiar thick drums, hefty bass sounds and Philippakis voice has been given the usual layering treatment. But, far from feeling derivative, these guys have found a way to breath new life into their sound.

This is unmistakably FOALS, but as always they are innovating. They've always been masters of reading the current climate and they know what trends to pay attention to, without compromising themselves. These guys have been pumping out good vibes for well over a decade, remaining at the forefront of British rock.
