Meantime (single):The Futureheads

Title: Meantime EP

Label: 679 Recordings

Genre: post-punk pop

Rating: 6.3 of 7

Remember that catchy as hell post-punk/new wave/pop album that has been in rotation the last few months? Of course you do, why else would you be reading this? Anyway, for all of that play you gave the wonderful catchy Sunderland band they have sent this little bonus, an acoustic version and alternative take of the addictive Meantime and two live tracks of other songs. The acoustic version maybe even catchier than the original, plus it is amazing to see how simple the song really is yet so damn good. The alternative version takes a more electronic angle at the song, midway through exploding into a droning, echoing freak-out. One of the live song says bullshit a lot, so count that one out, but the other one is hand-clapping, chorus-chanting fun, so play that one. Franz Ferdinand may have got annoying, but impress all your friends with this even better band (and of course Bloc Party). See the rewards for playing good music, good bonuses!
