The Futureheads
Sunderland trio The Futureheads were one of the last bands to receive the patronage of the late John Peel, with their early singles showing an edgier version of the new-new-wave of Franz Ferdinand and co.
Despite a slew of top quality tunes, it was ironically a cover of Kate Bush's 'Hounds of Love' that provided their breakthrough, leading to festival singalongs and a resurgence in the oddball queen of weird's popularity with younger audiences.
