The Futureheads hail from Sunderland & take their influence from Devo, Queen, Fugazi & Kate Bush. Their debut, self-titled album is a pop masterpiece with a difference. Yes the tunes are catchy & bright but they possess a nagging intensity & off-kilter rhythm that puts them more on a par with the work of Talking Heads than the polished dross that infects the chart at every turn. 15 tracks. 679 Recordings. 2004.
