Splash Stories had a super charged chat with The Futureheads vocalist Barry Hyde from his pub/music venue The Peacock, that he opened with Dan Donnelly (Celtic Social Club/The Wonder Stuff/The Levellers) in Sunderland's City centre

Futureheads - Took their name from the Flaming Lips album Hit to Death in the Future Head shot to critical acclaim in 2004

Their sound is a brash and brave mix of post-punk and three/four part harmonies their memorable cover of Kate Bush’s ‘Hounds of Love’ is superbly crafted.Their sound embraces stop-start dynamics in the rhythmic ‘Decent Days and Nights’, punky abrasion on songs like ‘The Beginning of the Twist’ and tight harmonies which they later took to the max on their entirely acapella fifth album Rant.

2 decades later 2025 sees the band tour their greatest hits album released on Cherry Red Records. Includes THE BEGINNING OF THE TWIST / HOUNDS OF LOVE/DECENT DAYS AND NIGHTS /MEANTIME & more
