The thing about Martin Glover's career might be that he did not do many obvious choices for someone like him as we have seen. I mean, I'm surprised he didn't produce more post-punk revivals band, since his work with Killing Joke could've given them a good gateway. Still, he did accept the Futureheads out of all the options. I'm unsure why, but they are one of the most reliable groups of the scene. Nonetheless, did they really need Martin Glover to gain some cred? They were rarely mentioned in the same breath as Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party and the similar despite them hanging around the same influences, yet they seemed to be mostly present as another case of the style without being paid much attention. Then again, their experimental side succeeded more often than that of their peers.

The situation with the retro rock styles during the noughts should be cherished in a way – we did gain many gateway musicians back then. Sure, the latter idea still feels a bit controversial for some genre purists, yet we need the players such as them. I'm pretty sure very few could directly discover post-punk, they needed an entry point. Why, The Futureheads are there to solve your problems. Then again, they do remain a bit underappreciated thanks to them being a part of the revival scene. They are basically an old reliable group at this time, i.e. you know what they sound like and you are sure they shall provide you with this sort of music. Of course, they could go somewhere else, but they are happy where they are and you can hear that – we should cherish this.
