Helena Beat video

Ibiza Rocks announced

Foster The People have premiered the video for their new single ‘Helena Beat.’ The video, which can be viewed on the band’s homepage, has been described by band member Mark Foster as “ ‘Lord of the Flies’ meets ‘Mad Max.’ ” Ace Norton (She and Him, Death Cab for Cutie) who directed the clip, worked closely with the band to realise an over-turned, run down world where rules are long gone and kids are now rulers.
