It’s a doggone shame that The Futureheads will probably never return to the vocal interplay antics of their self-titled 2005 LP (best exemplified by their amazing cover of Kate Bush’s “Hounds of Love.”) The post-punk revivalists’ new single, “Heartbeat Song,” is quite the disappointment. It’s a limp pop-punk sing-a-long with a one-note sentiment. Here’s the slightly more interesting, ‘70s game show music video. The Sunderland quartet’s fourth LP, The Chaos, comes out April 26th via the band’s own imprint, Nul. The Fly has an acoustic session with the band and live dates can be found here.
