The Foam Heads… with their heroic, chorus pedal guitar sound, which immediately reminds us of cult heroes…, The Chameleons, while the trio’s anthemic closing number could have TARDIS-ed in from the first U2 album. Whatever the vintage of their influences, they’re most welcome in the present day.

Mass Extinction (Korrg Remix) It’s a fun little track with some strong 80s synth-pop influences that comes with a cute little anime-inspired video to boot. I’m still not entirely clear, having listened to it through a couple of times, how (or why) we’re connecting a relationship breakdown to the climate crisis…But this is a bop. And, hey, most people don’t realise that Springsteen’s ‘Born In The USA’ is a political protest song, so it’s okay to not be entirely clear and still have a banger on your hands.

Gig review at The Jericho - ‘Mass Extinction’ and especially ‘Insanity’ are songs of alienation that the alt-pop threesome deliver with cheerfully jangly guitar… what better way is there of a band communicating alienation, than messing with our heads?
Their songs reflect the epidemics of modern day living, from anxiety and addiction to depression and psychosis. Throwing in the onward surge of human mass ecocide, they generate a powerful emotive mix.
They formed in early 2020 as songwriters, writing about modern life to the backdrop of their music from guitar anthems to a semi-acoustic ether. The Foam Heads are Gareth on bass, synth and vocals, Nick on guitars, keyboards and vocals, and Mark on drums.
