UK-based Russell Porter chronicles alt music culture in the Porter Report with aggressive wit and offbeat charm. Today, the “professional chancer and well known layabout” reports exclusively for Boing Boing tv from the beach in Brighton, with Barry Hyde of The Futureheads.
Here are previous BBtv episodes featuring Russell Porter. (special thanks to Jolon Bankey).
The Futureheads are an amazing band – blew me away 3 years ago in Vancouver. It was one of those shows where a band you know nothing about turns you into a fanatic within the first two songs. I was happy to hear that The Futureheads set up their own label (It’s too bad Sony Canada is doing the Canadian release of it). The new album freakin’ rules. I like News and Tributes just fine but this one has an urgency to it.
