Sunderland, England, United Kingdom (2000 – present)
The Futureheads formed in 2000 in Sunderland, England, United Kingdom or more specifically, in Barry’s garage. The line-up of the band at that point was Jaff (Bass, Vocals), Barry Hyde (Guitar, Vocals), Ross Millard (Guitar, Vocals), and Peter Brewis (Drums, Vocals), now of cerebral pop-masterpiece-makers Field Music.
After playing countless hometown shows, the Futureheads took the show on the road with a massive helping hand from Slampt Records’ Milky Wimpshake. A tour of Squats and Youth Centres in Central Europe came in summer 2001, due to which the band switched out drummers. In place of Peter Brewis ambled a young pretender, Mr David Hyde (Drums, Vocals).
Several singles followed - the first, Nul Book Standard, can now be seen casually hanging out on eBay from time to time. A relationship with the lovely people at Fantastic Plastic briefly followed. ‘The Futureheads’ was released in summer 2004, on 679 Recordings, and then the band hit the road. Some highlights of 2005 include playing Glastonbury Festival on Baz’s birthday, Hounds Of Love going Top Ten, meeting Dennis Hopper on Jimmy Kimmel’s US TV Show, and getting that most infamous of Albatrosses, The Second Album under their belts.
‘News and Tributes’ was released in May 2006. It reached 11 in the album chart, and saw the band touring the world and continuing to win fans and supporters with their exhilarating live shows.
Fast forward to 2008, and The Futureheads are back, bolder and better than ever, exploding back onto the scene with their new album ‘This Is Not The World’. Embracing the punk-rock ethic like never before, Barry, Ross, Jaff and Dave are releasing their third album independently and taking control of their own destiny.

So in Futureheads related news, Dave Hyde has officially resigned as a band member, due to sibling arguments with Barry, and his prior engagements with Hyde and Beast. Furthermore, The Futureheads' newest album, entitled "Rant", will feature ONLY acapella tracks, featuring some classics, and a few covers. It's not technically a perfectly-canon album, but more of a side LP as an appetizer for their yet-to-be-released full-feature album. "Rant" will be available on iTunes in Fall of 2011.

@SUpahShadow Their albums tend to be "growers". You just have to give them time. I promise, you WON'T regret it! These are fine young lads with tremendous musical abilities.
