Sunderland ’s mod, pop and Britpop skirting quartet pluck another catchy and excitable exhibit from their self-titled debut album. Musically and vocally it shakes hands and pats backs with fellow NME tour mates The Kaiser Chiefs. The Futureheads’ front pair Barry Hyde (Lead vocals) and Ross Millard (guitar/backing vocals) feed off each other, with the same degree of success Niall Quinn and Kevin Phillips used to enjoy when representing Sunderland.
