The Futureheads have announced that double A-side ‘Meet Me Halfway/The No.1 Song In Heaven’ will be released alongside thier new album 'Rant' on 2nd April. The new single will see the band transform The Black Eyed Peas’ single and the 1970s Sparks track into harmonious four-part a capellas.
Also - due to popular demand - the North East quartet will now be taking their acoustic and a capella tour down to Brighton’s Komedia on April 2nd.
Listen to ‘Meet Me Halfway’ below.
When asked about the single choices, Ross Millard had this to say: “We did The Black-Eyed Peas one, because Barry wouldn’t stop talking about it and singing that particular melody throughout the whole of the ‘The Chaos’ tour. I’m really proud of that one because it’s got more chops to it than a lot of the other ones. To me, it’s like dubstep without the beats. As for Sparks, I first heard that song in Barry and Dave’s parents’ kitchen just as we were starting The Futureheads. It’s stuck with us for quite a long time because, in the early days of the band, Jaff said, in an interview with The NME: 'Sparks’ 'No. 1 Song In Heaven' always gets me in the mood to go out clubbing.’ This sounded so sad that we’ve never let him forget it.”
The Futureheads will be playing the following UK shows:
