The Futureheads The Futureheads are celebrating their 10th birthday by helping out a few worthy causes.

The band have collaborated with artists including David Shrigley and Stuart Semple to create 'FH10', a series of limited edition prints which will raise money for Newcastle based charities.

Each of the artists involved was sent an album, and asked to respond to its music as if creating the album cover for the first ever time.

"For us, FH10 is a brilliant way of us celebrating ten years of making music together; new life breathed into our back-catalogue by four artists whose work we have admired from afar for many years," Ross explains.

"We wanted to celebrate our first decade in a creative way, not by slobbering over a few pints, desperately trying to recall venues we played back in the early days, but by looking toward the future by giving birth to something new - having new creations to enjoy and shout about.

Over the years we've written and recorded a lot of music, and in the last few years we've even released some of it ourselves too, but projects like this one, that operate on the fringes of the music, are often the most fun to be part of, because they can teach you a thing or two about a world you don't inhabit on a daily basis. It's been wonderful collaborating with artists who can re-interpret our music into something completely new and invigorating - waiting to see what they'd come back with was really exciting."

Each of the prints is available in a limited edition run of 100, signed by the artists and priced at £50. They will go on sale during the first week of December via Culture Label.
