[Neil]

Such an energy about them, anyone else like?

[colonel sian]

[LikelyLass]

I gotta get round to buying it soon, I have most of their songs but it's safe to say i'll probably love it!

[Sarah]

They have somehow managed to be the loudest band I have ever seen. Awwsh. I love them.

[Nancuk]

They're touring with Graham Coxon. But only in the US. Damn.

[obstacle 1]

Yeah, I'm really getting into them lately.

Is all.

[Ullalume]

Great stuff. Definitely my favourite band around at the moment.

[theimpressiveclergyman]

They haven't really grabbed me so far, but I haven't heard much.

[Grapevine]

Just got my bro the album for his birthday and copied it first, of course. :p
Listening to it now, me like. :happy:

[daniela]

ive seen them live and theyre fantastic! and i got stopped once asking where i got the tee from :D

[abi]

They have somehow managed to be the loudest band I have ever seen. Awwsh. I love them.

Heh. Same for me.
I'm in love with Barry.

[Hoppipolla]

Loved them a while back. Then kinda got into other stuff & left them behind. I'm still contemplating buying their album...

[daniela]

i have an mp3 of them doing fit but you know it :D

[Istya]

Ohhh really? That sounds like it'd be mighty interesting...where did you happen to find it?

[Kathryn]

I'm still not sure about them :rolleyes:

[daniela]

Ohhh really? That sounds like it'd be mighty interesting...where did you happen to find it?
someone sent me it, in a file with the whole album, b sides and extras. i think theyre just singing the chorus on it tho!

[Bexie]

I love carnival kids :) .
Likely Lass; me wants your sig :indiff:

[Stu]

I'm addicted to Hounds of Love :D

[=Chris=]

i have a futureheads Promo. It was left in Newcastle Virgin, was part of some promotion they where doing where you had to take it, listen to it and leave it somewhere interesting, the most interesting place won you a trip to New York... i took it, listened to it and left it on my shelf oooops!

[Sexcellent]

They're great. I love First Day.

[tyler]

actually the nicest band I have ever met...(not that I've met that many!)

barry and ross were so lovely and friendly... and I LOVE barry's dancing - it's as if his legs are independent of his body!

their stage banter is so much fun - added to the fact that musically they are very tight = fab live.

great blokes.
great album.
great live show.

just great.

[Hoppipolla]

I downloaded the album. Quite good.

[Beddo]

One of the coolest albums of last year...

[moocow]

there first 2, decent days and nights and first day, where ace, but the new single is a bit ghay :p

[hyperheart]

im not sure bout the futureheads.....some of their stuff is fantastic and some aint so good but they def have loadsa energy and im gonna check em out at reading wooooo

[christoph]

I downloaded the album. Quite good.

quite good?

when someone has such a rubbish opinion as that, it usually means they got the album, listened once, weren't to keen but still thought they'd let it be known they know who they are. for some kind of 'cred'

;)

[siblers]

Where did ye download it from?

Meh i absolutley love their new song..its just so freekn cool, sounds really familar, well the bit between the verse and chorus...gona get the album asap..there other 2 singles from their current angle are also really good songs.

which is the new song?

[siblers]

Can`t think of the name...i`ll get back to you on it.

[siblers]

Decent Days and Nights.

[Bexie]

I'm rather pleased that's getting re-released. It's a great song. :happy:

[siblers]

It sounnds really familar, its not like a remake or maybe i just heard it before.

[siblers]

They are playing in Ireland 20th of May..knowing my luck I will have no one to go with

[music]

ahhhh hounds of love sounds SO good when it's played in a club!!

cant wait to hear it tomorrow nite woo new years eve!

[Istya]

Bump!

It took the new album a few listens for it to grow on me, but boy did it ever grow on me. It's fantastic! And after missing them the only other time they came round, I finally saw them last night and they were definitely one of the best shows I've ever seen by far. They're so energetic and expressive. And so sweet too. :happy:

[MaTTH]

I like the recent album too. Think my favourite song is 'Burnt', as it has a bassline which is very similar in feel to Joy Division.

[Istya]

"Burnt" is my favorite song as well, though "Favours for Favours" is a close second.

[Ro]

I'm liking the new one :happy:

[pubicmage]

I saw them headlining a free festival in 2005 and thought they were shit. A few of the studio tracks are okay, though.

[kilbride]

I'm liking the new one :happy:

+1. Not really into their older stuff, but the Beginning of the Twist is great..

[Muttley]

I'm curious about the new one

I liked the first album
Second one was meh

[Max]

I can't wait for the new album. Sounds so promising. :happy:

[Ro]

+1. Not really into their older stuff, but the Beginning of the Twist is great..

I like the first album, but I never really heard much of the second album :erm:

[davetoms]

There doing at set at the NME Awards Aftershow Party at Indigo2 in February.
Maybe I should check them out.

[Britrock]

Beginning of the twist is an immense tune. Decent days and nights and Hounds of love were good songs too, but the first album was a disappointment on the whole. Don't remember the second album, but if the new song is a sign of things to come, the new one should be good.

They're on an indie label now too aren't they? Which can only be a good thing.

[Broken Inside]

I'm seeing them next month! :D Already seen them about 4 times and they get better every time.

Also, does anyone else have a copy of 'Broke Up The Time'? I missed the free download :( :(

[davetoms]

There doing at set at the NME Awards Aftershow Party at Indigo2 in February.

Grabbed me two tickets at a tenner each. 11pm start, something am finish and with work the next day. Gotta be done I guess! :LOL:

[davetoms]

I contacted Indigo2 today to see if they knew when they would be on stage next Thursday and for how long. They said they wouldn't know for sure until next week. I'll give the a call then.

[davetoms]

Just rung them.
I don't suppose anybody else is interested but she said that, whilst nothing was definite yet, she believed they would be on around midnight and play for around an hour.

[destructiveaesthetic]

What/where/when? If it's London I'm there!

[Judderman]

they are doing a instore gig/signing in hmv in manchester on the 12th of march. im sooo there, heard there new song today. was rather coooool. :D

Their set wasn't too bad actually. :)

[Max]

What did the new stuff sound like?

[Josh =/]

Shit imo

[Broken Inside]

Saw them last night in Oxford. Amazing set as ever!!!! Their new stuff sounds really really good. AND they only played one song off their second album! Fuck you to 769!!

[Muttley]

Did they play Area?

Glad for you they didn't play much of the second one. That's a right stinker compared to the first one.

[Broken Inside]

Did they play Area?

YES!! They played Area! And the only song they played off the second album was 'Skip To The End', which is one of the only good songs from News And Tributes.

From what I remember:

Decent Days And Nights
Broke Up The Time (new song which is AMAZING - you could download it from their mailing list)
Area (that I did some clapping bit in and Ross laughed and talked about me afterwards!!!)
Stupid And Shallow
The Beginning Of The Twist (new single - AMAZING!)
Carnival Kids (!!!!!!)
Hounds Of Love
Hard To Bear (new song)
Two other new ones
Piece Of Crap (encore!!!!)
Meantime
A To B
He Knows
Man Ray
Skip To The End


They really were incredible. It's the fifth time I've seen them, now!

[Muttley]

Meantime :happy:

[Broken Inside]

Meantime :happy:
:yesey:

I got a bit (as in VERY!) when they played Carnival Kids! I love that song so much!! <3

I was stood in front of Ross, and I was singing all the words, and he kept looking at me and smiling and singing at me!! :happy:

[davetoms]

Maybe I don't go to enough smaller gigs but, when they ended their set at Indigo2, it was the first time I'd seen a band member hand over a set list to someone in the crowd rather than being handed over by a person who was clearing up.

[davetoms]

Now supporting Muse at RAH. :)

[davetoms]

Edit: Wrong thread!

[spiralstatic666]

Is anyone going to see them next month in Sheffield?

[AFX Twiiin!]

i LOVE them!!!

[Emz.]

Anyone seeing them in London? :happy:

[RiDav]

Cant say a bad word about these guys. Their passion for music and their refusel to quit after getting dumped by their record label is amazing. Seen em 4 times already and hope to see em a lot more. Man Ray!!!

[Muttley]

I really can't say a bad thing about This Is Not The World except for the packaging *sigh*
Nothing groundbreaking but a big step forward and at the same time back from the second one.

[dip]

seeing them this thursday, should be epically amazing


also, support from operator please, who are pretty fun

[Broken Inside]

Just bought the album today. Two tracks in and it's already SO much better than 'News and Tributes'. Harks back to 'The Futureheads', which can only be a good thing. Love it.

[Broken Inside]

I saw them headlining a free festival in 2005 and thought they were shit. A few of the studio tracks are okay, though.
Also, I know which festival you were talking about (Evolution, right?). And they were categorically NOT SHIT ON THAT OCCASION. They were on top form, as usual.

[Davey25]

All their songs started the same at wembley part from the last few

[Broken Inside]

All their songs started the same at wembley part from the last few
When did they play Wembley???? *confused*

[Reevo]

Got there new album 'This is Not The World' a few days ago and i'm very impressed although there are some flaws,

Hard to Bear and Think Tonight <3 :happy:

[Davey25]

When did they play Wembley???? *confused*

Wembley Stadium on the 7th. Supported Foo Fighters

[Broken Inside]

Wembley Stadium on the 7th. Supported Foo Fighters

Awh, my boys dun good :happy:

[Broken Inside]

[sparkle19]

Really? I was tempted to go and see them at Scala (because it's an ace venue) and if Jonsi tickets don't go onsale this week I might be tempted...:ninja:

Yea. I've seen them once and it was superb. Really wanna see them again. :happy:

[Max]

Yea. I've seen them once and it was superb. Really wanna see them again. :happy:

I've only seen them at the Royal Albert Hall supporting Muse. They were alright but the sound for them was terrible. :erm: They're probably waaaaay better at their own headlining gigs.

That's a real shame the sound wasn't good, I found them to be great. I saw them in a tiny club in Kingston bout a year and a half ago.

[dip]

I've seen them a few times, mainly because OP supported so I could get guestlist. But they do put on a good show and have some decent singalongs.

[sparkle19]

New album in a week :awesome:

The gig last Thurs was fantastic <3

[gwezza]

Last time I saw them was in Stockton and Ross was wearing a turkey on his head :LOL: jaff was pissing himself.

Love the new song, excited about the album.

:LOL::LOL: wtf. Ah I love them. :happy:

[Wowee Zowee]

Really enjoying the new album. After 2 really average albums they've finally found their sound again of the first.

[sparkle19]

Like it :happy: Struck Dumb might be my favourite.
