Foster Grants
Cincinnati • Garage Rock
Foster Grants are like the Indie Rock version of the Stooges and the MC5. The trio pumps out dissonant, pulse-pounding Garage Rock with a soulful Blues heart and a careening individuality that doesn’t give a goodly damn about image or what the kids are listening to these days. Show up to Foster Grants’ traveling carport, get your ass up front and prepare yourself for the raw and bloody truth about Rock & Roll.
Dig it: The Strokes sans the trust fund education with an actual dirty garage to practice in and an Iggy fixation, in the best possible way. (BB)

Bio
The Foster Grants are the Midwest landscape undulating beneath an outstretched hand - button down shirt collar flapping in the wind and unapologetic phrases belted with eyes tightly shut. They are the moment the first song unleashes your road trip mix.
Using the pure mathematics of Rock & Roll, their music has been compared to the likes of MC5 and the Stooges. The 3-piece formed around 2006 in Cincinnati, Ohio and have worked to ensure steady reverberation of its indie venues ever since.
