THE FUTANTS

MUSIC WITHOUT PHANTOM PAIN

About Me


Formed in Odense, Denmark in 1999 by Peter Madsen (drums), Ronnie Hansen (guitar), Uffe Lisborg (vocals) & Kenneth Andersen (bass), with intensions of making unique alternative metal. After a few years, Uffe Lisborg left the band to take care of his growing drug problem.
Sadly he was not able to overcome his problems and died in September 2005 of a drug overdose at his home in Jutland. He is greatly missed by all of us.
In 2003 Kasper Solhoj replaced Kenneth on bass. The Futants today consists of Peter & Kasper as the two main members of the band. We're at the moment practicing and throwing ideas around for a forthcoming release. Stay tuned for more updates.
Our musical influences come from various bands such as Kyuss, Soundgarden, Alice Donut, Tumor Circus, At the Drive-In, Tom Waits, Black Flag, the Mars Volta, Unida, Germs, Deftones, Screamers, Tool, Pearl Jam, Fantomas, Sonic Youth & Sepultura. Other influences come from films, literature, pot & mushrooms.
