Julia Garner is one of Hollywood's brightest stars, thanks to major roles in "Ozark" and "Inventing Anna" that have cemented her in that pantheon. However, though you've probably heard of Garner if you're a TV fan, you may not know her husband, Mark Foster, who is more than just the guy sitting next to Garner at every award show - he's also a very popular musician.
Foster is best known for being the lead singer of the band Foster the People, which he formed in 2009 with his friend, drummer Mark Pontius, and, later, bassist Cubbie Fink. Over the past decade, the band have released three studio albums: their debut "Torches" in 2011, "Supermodel" in 2014, and "Sacred Hearts Club" in 2017."

Formed in Los Angeles, California in 2009, Foster the People are an Indie/electronic band known for their hit song ‘Pumped Up Kicks’. In 2011, they released their debut album Torches, touring it extensively all over the world. The album would receive platinum certifications in the Us, Canada and Australia. But, it’s main selling point was still Pumped Up Kicks.
The song has gone on to sell, as of August 2013, 5.17 million copies in the Us alone. But the band would return to the studio and write their next album Supermodel, released in 2014. The album would not chart or sell as well as Torches, but saw them take on a darker, more mature sound.
From humble beginnings in Cleveland, Ohio, Mark Foster (singer/founder/multi-instrumentalist) would move to L.A. in an attempt to make it in the music industry. Out there, he would form the band with friends...
