The Futureheads formed in 2000, in Sunderland. More specifically, in Barry"s garage really. The line-up of the band at that point consisted of Jaff (Bass, Vocals), Barry Hyde (Guitar, Vocals), Ros Millard (Guitar, Vocals), and Peter Brewis, now of cerebral pop-masterpiece-makers, Field Music (Drums, Vocals). Some highlights of 2005 include playing Glastonbury Festival on Baz"s birthday, `Hounds Of Love" going Top Ten, meeting Dennis Hopper on Jimmy Kimmel"s US TV Show, and getting that most infamous of Albatrosses, `The Second Album," under their belts.The recording of of said album took place over a period of 6 weeks in winter 2005 in a remote farmhouse near Scarborough, in North Yorkshire. Ben Hillier produced the record, and the band look set to undertake a full UK tour in June 2006 with the US invasion coming shortly thereafter.
