The Futureheads
“Like 70s post-punks Wire, British rockers The Futureheads show little regard for traditional verse/chorus/verse structure, yet still manage to come away with irresistably hook-laden songs that cover an immense amount of ground in impossibly brief periods. Riding elaborate four-part harmonies and frequently injecting unexpectedly weird segments between verses, the band prove themselves as tight as Dischord's finest post-punks, with the riffs and hooks necessary to flesh out their raw technical skill. Gang of Four guitarist Andy Gill produces.”
Powers
“A ceaselessly innovative mix of post-punk dynamics, melodic nous and intricate four-part harmonies always set the Futureheads apart from their 00s indie peers. Indeed, there’s an argument that had they come from Brooklyn instead of Sunderland they could have been huge. As it was, when they went on hiatus after 2012’s entirely a cappella set Rant, it caused barely a stir. Frontman Barry Hyde broke ”
The Chaos
“After a few records of unwelcome detours, the Futureheads mostly ditch the attempts at anthems and re-embrace some of their eccentricities.”
