The Futureheads are a four-piece English post-punk revival band from Sunderland who formed in 2000. Their name comes from the title of the The Flaming Lips record Hit to Death in the Future Head. This album is an amalgamation of  their two previous albums, The Futureheads from 2004 and News & Tributes from 2006. The album was recorded over three weeks in Spain in 2007 with legendary producer Youth (Primal Scream, The Verve) who clipped the Mackem lads' overflowing pot of songs into shape. Out of it came 12 short, sharp, shocks of pure Futurehead joy, not dismissing the killer hooks and choruses that adorn each and every one.
