I don't think it's a rip off, I love that song! As for why you thought that, I don't know. I helpfully provided all the relavent phrases in qoutes. Literally minutes of tedius cuting and pasting.

Oh yes, why did I think you said something else?
Anyway, one riff does not a rip-off make.

Wowzers.
You did get the wrong song though ; )
Seriously though, in general, they are absolutely nothing like them.

I can't help it, every time I think of the expression "skip to the end," I picture Simon Pegg.

THE REPLACEMENTS
A faux Futureheads tribute album
By Brian Heater
In honor of the Futureheads’ new record, News and Tributes, I sat down with lead singer Barry Hyde to piece together a bit of musical will. If his band succumbs to death by rock cliche, let’s say, and perishes in some manner of fiery crash, no doubt a News and Tributes tribute record would follow soon thereafter. I asked Hyde to choose which bands he’d like to see on the record.
“Yes/No,” Queens of the Stone Age. “It’s going to have to be a hard rock band. I think they’re one of the best live bands ever, and that song was written so to be impressive live.”
“Cope,” Motorhead. “I think they’d have to rehearse it quite a lot, because it has jazz chords in it, but I think they could do it.”
“Fallout,” The Kinks. “I think they’d do their own version of it, but I would love to hear [Ray Davies]’s voice on it.
“Skip to the End,” AC/DC. “We nicked it from them, that groove.”
“Burnt,” Pixies. “It’s got a bit of a Pixies feel to it. You’ve got acoustic guitar, combined with some quite-odd other guitar lines. It’s kind of like Frank Black and Joey Santiago. It’s also got a really Pixies-feel on the bass, really simple, and quite driven.”
“News and Tributes,” Cocteau Twins. “I think they could do quite a good version. They kind of reformed; they were meant to perform for Coachella last year and had some rehearsals.
“Return of the Berserker,” Lighting Bolt/The Boredoms. “They could probably make it even more berserk—take it to a new level.”
“Worry About it Later,” The Who. “They’re still playing. It’s got a Who-feel to it. It’s got quite big chords. You could imagine doing a windmill strum to that one.”
“Favours for Favours,” The Mystery Jets. “It’s got quite crazy guitar harmonics, and I think that their guitar player, Will [Rees], would do something quite amazing with that.”
“Thursday,” Bjork. “It’s quite ethereal, and there would be a lot of space for her in that song to fit lots of Bjorkism, like vocally when she makes all of those crazy sounds and sounds like she’s from a different planet. I think she’d quite like it.”
“Faith,” Field Music. “This is the band that we’re on tour with at the moment. It’s very soft and gentle, but then it kind of explodes, and goes in three dimensions. I think they’re a band that plays with wonderful controlled dynamics, and I think they’d be a great band to rearrange it and make it their own.”
June 30. Webster Hall, 125 E. 11th St. (betw. 3rd & 4th Aves.),

Sure, sounds good.
I suppose the old expression is smothered in kisses, now that I think on it.

Smothered in Hugs is an old expression?
Bands often name themselves after a song. I was going to start a list here, but let's just do a new thread, hm?

No idea, but it's possible. Could be coincidence, too, I suppose. I don't think I'd ever name a band after a song I like, since that title is someone else's, though it is an old expression, too.

I just heard a song by Canadian band Smothered in Hugs and they remind me somewhat of Futureheads though not so harmony heavy. Anyone heard them? You can hear some of their stuff on newmusiccanada.ca. The song I heard was Young Flare.

I saw the Futureheads supporting Oasis at Hampden last year, they were quite good, better than the Super Furry Animals anyhoo, although their singer came on with a Power Rangers helmet!! How fantastic.

I would say they were. For example, everytime I turn on the television they are there pricking around like a bunch of pricks.

Saw them supporting the Pixies at the Ally Pally show last year and I thought they were pretty good live. Seemed to have a pretty strong fanbase at the show as well, mainly hispanic dwarves.
All in all though I wouldn't rank them much higher than most of the more mainstream 'alternative' acts that are plauging the British music scene at the moment ie Kaiser Chiefs etc

ha! XTC isn't all that. The Futureheads music is very original and I honestly do not see this XTC comparison or parody as you put it. |
