The Foam Heads, from Oxford UK, formed in early 2020 as songwriters, writing about modern life to the backdrop of their guitar anthem sounds. The Foam Heads are Gareth on bass, synth and vocals, Nick on guitars, keyboards and vocals, and Mark on drums. Often compared to The Chameleons with their weaving pedal-synth sounds.
In January 2024 they were nominated in the best Indie Rock category for the Radio Wigwam Annual Awards.
Closing out 2023, they were included in Nightshift Magazine's - Tracks Of Our Year - Everything's F*ckd - A cracking apocalyptic tune to dance ..to!
The Foam Heads garnered Nightshift Magazine's Top Track award in July 23, noting similarities to Happy Mondays at their rockiest, and even U2 jamming with Funkadelic! No surprise, as they’d previously listed Waste of the World as one of the best songs of 2022, calling it “a glorious bulldozer of a song, ready-made for mosh pits or festival fist pumping”.
OMS Magazine rated "New Desire" as an impressive atmospheric pop/rock track.
They are named after an ecological incident in Oxford where the Oxford Mail reported on a military chemical spill, saying that 'a wave of Foam Heads (down the river Thames) for the City'.
