Todd #4pick : Foster the People - 'Torches'
Foster the People make Todd's #10Albums list with their debut 2011 release 'Torches'.
This album had the Uber-catchy 'Helena Beat' and the controversial 'Pumped Up Kicks'. We discuss the subject matter of the latter, as well as why FtP songs are so catchy!! ..did you know the singer, Mark Foster, used to write radio and commercial jingles??
Torches received generally favorable reviews from critics and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. The record peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200 in the US and number one on the ARIA Albums Chart in Australia. It has been certified platinum in Australia and the US, Philippines, and Canada.

Award-winning Todd Anstett has brought the world 'VRS - Be Kind, Rewatch'. He is also a meteorologist located in East Coast Canada. A slightly younger perspective on the show leanings to more of a modern rock presentation.
