The Futureheads

The Futureheads, a British indie rock band formed in Sunderland, perform at Brudenell Social Club in Burley, Leeds, a concert and performance venue. Their music draws on the early-2000s wave of post-punk-inspired British bands.

The Futureheads formed in Sunderland in 2000, and their founding members, Barry Hyde, David "Jaff" Craig and a drummer, had met as students at City of Sunderland College. Signed to Vagrant Records, the group released their self-titled debut album in 2004, which included a cover of "Hounds of Love". Their sound belonged to the early-2000s movement of post-punk-inspired British bands, set apart by spiky guitars, four-part harmonies and unconventional song structures.

Their later albums shifted in emphasis. News and Tributes (2006) added intimacy, This Is Not the World (2008) was more streamlined, and Rant (2012) was an a cappella record. After a hiatus for much of the 2010s, they returned with Powers in 2019.

The Brudenell Social Club, in Burley, is a concert and performance venue in Leeds. The evening suits listeners interested in the band's guitar-driven indie rock, from its early records through to Powers.
