Futureheads Frontman Responds To Radiohead's 'Rainbows'

Barry Hyde shares the following quote with Gigwise: *They are in a league of their own. But what disappointed us was that they released it physically after. That was kind of hypocritical.*

Do you agree with his criticism?

The Futureheads - Piece Of Crap

Ahh, The Futureheads. Good memories.

'Piece Of Crap' didn't make the cut for the band's eponymous debut back in '04 but it happens to fall amongst my top few Futureheads tracks, and dammit, that should count for something!

Clocking in at 1:39, 'Piece Of Crap' is a Ramones-inspired punk mini-odyssey. Considering there was more than a fair share of filler on The Futureheads, I'm shocked 'Piece Of Crap' fell to the wayside. Either way, throw some much needed pep into your day with the MP3 below.

Futureheads Guitarist Launches Label

Starting your own label is apparently, the new Arcade Fire. What are your thoughts? Do The Futureheads have enough under their belts to be expanding their empire just yet?

Via NME: The Futureheads' Ross Millard launched his indie record label on Saturday night (February 10). The guitarist kicked off his new venture with a party at Newcastle's Hatton Art Gallery featuring performances form The Futureheads, plus members of the region's hottest established and up-and-coming bands.

The night also celebrated the release of the debut single by Longest Mile Recordings' first signings Catweasels. Speaking to NME.COM, Millard explained what prompted him to start the label with friends Paul Reed and Nick Jackson. "After doing the band for so many years you realise how the cogs of the [music industry] machine work," he explained. "Stuff is so exciting up here [in the North East] but people are so naive about how it works - we're just trying to facilitate some younger bands." Catweasels played a raucous half-hour set, which included both their debut single, 'This Is Just The Night Time, Andy' and B-side 'Metty Move Mountains'.

Explaining what drew him to Catweasels, Millard said: "Sometimes you find it's very hard not to get cynical about the music industry, but then you see a band like Catweasels and you forget about all that because they're so exciting to watch. "They're not cynical bastards, they're excitable young people. It's massively refreshing to come home and see that's continuing to prosper." Speaking after the gig, Catweasels frontman Sam Megahy said he was grateful to Millard for finally being able to put out a record. "Because we've been around for such a while, it's great to finally have something physical in your hands," he declared. 'This Is Just The Night Time, Andy' is released today (February 12) and Catweasels will be playing an in-store show at Newcastle indie record shop RPM to mark its release.
