Airhead (formerly Jefferson Airhead) is a British indie-pop band that achieved some some success in the early 1990s, at the tail-end of the Madchester music movement.

They are likened to The Wonder Stuff, Flowered Up, The Mock Turtles and early Blur. Forced to change their name from Jefferson Airhead due to its (deliberate) similarity to Jefferson Airplane, Maidstone band Airhead achieved minor UK chart success with singles "Funny How" and "Counting Sheep". After releasing one album and a handful of singles, they were dropped by label Korova and released their final record, the That's Enough EP on Mother Tongue. They are probably best remembered for "Funny How", which although not their highest-charting single was played heavily on BBC Radio 1 at the time of its release.
