The Profile

The Futureheads are an English post-punk revival band from Sunderland, formed in 2000 by Barry Hyde, Ross Millard, David “Jaff” Craig, and Dave Hyde. Known for tight harmonies and angular guitars, they broke through with a cover of Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love and released albums including The Futureheads (2004), News and Tributes (2006), This Is Not the World (2008), The Chaos (2010), Rant (2012), and Powers (2019).

Barry Hyde has spoken publicly about living with bipolar disorder. The band’s sound draws on post-punk influences such as Wire and Gang of Four. Their cover of Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love became a UK hit. After the a cappella album Rant, they returned from hiatus with Powers in 2019.

DeBaser’s reviews chart The Futureheads from a hyped, divisive debut to a lean, energetic return with Powers. Critics note angular guitars, gang vocals, and classic punk fingerprints. Rant’s a cappella swerve is panned; The Chaos and This Is Not the World get guarded praise. Overall verdict: spiky, brisk, and stubbornly fun.
