Indie rockPunk rock

The Futureheads is a Indie rock and Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Fugazi, Meet Me Halfway, The Flaming Lips, Gang of Four and Devo. Those roots explain a lot about how The Futureheads arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as We Are Scientists, The Enemy, Hard-Fi, The Ordinary Boys and Milburn, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Paul Epworth, Young the Giant, Tourist History and fakemink, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 38 connections around The Futureheads, reaching back through Fugazi and forward to Paul Epworth.
