The Chaos, the fourth album from Sunderland post-punk revivalists the Futureheads, arrived on 26 April 2010, the band's second on Nul Records after This Is Not the World. A download-only single, "Struck Dumb", went out ahead of it on 2 December 2009.
Three of the four sing, and that's still the secret weapon: Barry Hyde, Ross Millard and Jaff trading and stacking yelps and harmonies over guitars that snap like rubber bands, while Barry's brother Dave keeps the drums tight and nervy. The debts to Gang of Four, XTC, Wire and Devo are right there in the herky-jerky rhythms and clipped, shouty hooks, and "Heartbeat Song" is the big, fist-up singalong of the set. Rant came next.
