The Futureheads on 'This Is Not The World'
The Futureheads, getting set to release their third album, came in to John Kennedy's X-Posure to go through 'This Is Not The World' track by track. Listen below...
After being dropped by their label in 2006, The Futureheads picked themselves up again, set up their own label, and are back now with their third studio album.
'This Is Not The World' comes out on the band's own Nul Records on May 26. With singles 'Beginning Of The Twist' and 'Radio Heart' enjoying heavy rotation and support from loyal Futureheads fans, the album is set to do very well.
Hot on the promotional path, Barry Hyde and Ross Millard came in to Xfm to speak to John Kennedy about each track on the album.
