Sunderland, Newcastle, United Kingdom (2000 – present)
The Futureheads formed in 2000 in Sunderland, UK 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. It’s going to feel like the first time, all over again…

Does anybody happen to have MP3s of "Spoilt for Choice", "Last Time Ever" or "History Itself" they would be willing to share? I have every other bside, and I am happy to share.

I'm listening to these guys now because last.fm suggested them to me... oh, come on, is this 80s nonsense revival ever going to stop?! Stop it, already... I'm getting so tired of all this "oh, look at us, we are part of the British underground indie scene, we love Joy Division and Echo & The Bunnymen and we enjoy ourselves just repeating those formulae over and over again, even though none of us will ever be as good as them!" I'm so tired of this revival crap... not just post-punk revival, but all revivals altogether... post-rock revivals, folk revivals, food festival revivals, urban-depression revival, Yorkshire Terrier revival, revival's revival, etc revival, piece of crap revival, Marie Antoinette revival, E.E. Cummings revival, outside camping revival, backyard camping revival, Campingaz revival... I mean... CUT IT! Just enjoy playing and creating good music, that's all I'm asking... and leave Joy Division quiet, already...
