Splash Stories had a super charged chat with The Futureheads vocalist Barry Hyde from his pub/music venue The Peacock, that he opened with Dan Donnelly (Celtic Social Club/The Wonder Stuff/The Levellers) in Sunderland's City centre

Futureheads - Took their name from the Flaming Lips album Hit to Death in the Future Head shot to critical acclaim in 2004

Their sound is a brash and brave mix of post-punk and three/four part harmonies their memorable cover of Kate Bush’s ‘Hounds of Love’ is superbly crafted.Their sound embraces stop-start dynamics in the rhythmic ‘Decent Days and Nights’, punky abrasion on songs like ‘The Beginning of the Twist’ and tight harmonies which they later took to the max on their entirely acapella fifth album Rant.

2 decades later 2025 sees the band tour their greatest hits album released on Cherry Red Records. Includes THE BEGINNING OF THE TWIST / HOUNDS OF LOVE/DECENT DAYS AND NIGHTS /MEANTIME & more

Splash Stories kicks off 2025 with Crispin Gray, former guitarist and songwriter for Daisy Chainsaw renowned for their UK top twenty hit ’Love Your Money’ (which also appeared in an episode of Beavis & Butt-Head in the USA), Queenadreena and guitarist for Portuguese artist Starsha Lee.

His latest band Alien Airforce released the mighty fine and poignantly titled single Good Luck World (I Think You're Going To Need It) on Easy Action Records in the spring of 2024 and we felt it was topical to talk to Crispin as we plunge head long into 2025.

Good Luck World (I Think You're Going To Need It) is available on limited edition Ochre coloured vinyl https://easyaction.co.uk/product/alien-airforce-coloured-vinyl-7-single/ & The Album Give Pigeons The Right Of Way https://alienairforce.com/album

All artwork designed by Crispin Gray.

Crispin Gray incidentally, is the great nephew of the poet John Gray, friend of Oscar Wilde and inspiration for Wilde’s ’The Picture Of Dorian Gray’.
