The Futureheads are a four-piece English post-punk revival band from Sunderland. Their name comes from the title of the The Flaming Lips record Hit to Death in the Future Head.

The Futureheads formed in 2000, in Sunderland, 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 a million and one hometown shows, the Futuremen took the show on the road with a massive helping hand from Slampt Records’ Milky Wimpshake.
