Sunderland
The Futureheads
Take their influence from The Flaming Lips, Devo, Queen, Fugazi and Kate Bush, Sunderland post-punk act The Futureheads shot to fame in 2004, scoring Top 20 hits "Hounds of Love", "Area", and "The Beginning of the Twist".
Their tunes are catchy and bright but they also possess a nagging intensity and 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.
