When you have a lot of love for an album that has played a big part in your life - either past or present tense - nothing quite beats one of these nostalgia sets.

The Futureheads might never have scaled the dizzying, festival-headlining heights of some of their mid-00s indie peers but, over the course of five albums and just under a decade, the Sunderland quartet earned a rightful place as one of their generations slightly more cult favourites.

This is especially hard for an opening act, tonight Moscow Metro were opening for The Futureheads.

At the request of the headliners, a fellow Sunderland four piece complete the bill, delivering daredevil harmonies and coupling homespun folk to deft balladry.

I always felt they were one of those bands that got swept up with the hype of British indie bands in the mid 2000’s but didnt’t have much substance.
