English four-piece indie/post-punk band from Sunderland, formed in 2000. Known for angular guitars, three-part vocal harmonies and a divisive but notable debut in 2004. Their catalog includes The Futureheads (2004), This Is Not the World (2008) and Powers (2019).

Reviews note Ross Millard as the band's frontman and mention he battled bipolar disorder. The band were dropped by their label after News and Tributes and used online distribution (a free single) during recovery periods. Critical reception has varied across releases.

The Futureheads receive mixed reviews across their discography. Critics highlight angular, tight guitars and three-part vocal harmonies. Early work divided opinion; later albums (This Is Not the World, Powers) show a return to form for some reviewers. Overall reception ranges from dismissive to warmly approving.

For:Listeners of British indie/post-punk, fans of guitar-driven punk revival and concise, energetic rock songs.

 No experimentation this time, thankfully: the four former prodigies return to the angular and tight guitars that made their fortune at the beginning of the last decade, particularly with their self-titled debut masterpiece.

 This is a band with only one trick to show, but even that’s old and stale.

 If this is the result of a group considered dead, I’m sorry to have to contradict the detractors, because this is a proper punk-rock album, clean, no frills, like I haven’t heard in a long time.
