02.19 | Kiefer Sutherland visits the record doctor
The Observer's record doctor prescribes the Futureheads and Pete Doherty's Babyshambles to Kiefer Sutherland:
Unsurprisingly, in light of his regard for XTC and post-punk's caffeine-laced exuberance, the Patient was most impressed by the Futureheads: 'They have an energy that grabbed me. "Hounds of Love"s dramatic vocals and riffs got me straight away, and 'Decent Days and Nights' is a hectic punk tune. They're the refreshing antithesis of manufactured pop.'He also likes Coldplay and blames never having heard Franz Ferdinand on working 14 hour days.As have Babyshambles, who, while they will never be the Clash, made the Patient want to 'check out more of their music' on account of the line 'why would you pay to see me in a cage?'
