Headland
Sick Man

Prolifica

WE SAY

Their last single Freak Flag Fly was also a Record of the Day - play the two back to back and you'll know that Headland are a serious creative force. We love the bit where the kids come in on this (watch the cheap but very original video on their site which MTV2 have been playing for this part). It's on the playlist at Xfm, has had support from Rob Da Bank (Radio 1), Bob Harris (Radio 2) and 6Music. The band headline London's Metro on July 31 and they're playing Clapham Common on August 22 alongside The Happy Mondays.
