Fobals

Fobals is a duo born on a Monday-night five-a-side pitch. What started as two lads having a kickabout soon became weekly coffee meet-ups, trading song ideas and before they knew it, they’d written more than thirty tracks together. From that growing catalogue they picked their strongest eleven: a proper first team for their debut album. Blending the nostalgia of ’90s and 2000s britpop and soft-rock . Think Oasis, The Verve and Travis with the warmth of modern acts like Mumford & Sons and Flyte, Fobals carve out a sound that feels both familiar and fresh. Their debut album, The Beautiful Game, arrives in March 2026: a collection where the pitch meets the stage, the chants meet the chords, and the spirit of Sunday league sneaks into the studio. It’s football with melodies or music with a ball.
