The Music

[1] The Music all met at Brigshaw High School (except Phil Jordan, who went to Garforth), and began playing in 1999 as Insense.

In late 2006 they played a few UK gigs and subsequently posted on their site the video for the new song entitled Fire, which would eventually be released on Strength in Numbers two years later.

The band signed a new deal with Polydor in 2007 and spent the rest of the year recording their third album with producers Flood and Paul Hartnoll.

On The Music's official website, he told of his initial abuse of drugs in his mid-teens: "the addiction began to sit into its groove.

He later quit drugs, but around the time of the band's second album, had replaced the addiction with alcohol: "Drinking became the place to hide.

[4] However, Harvey left the band in September 2010, and following a series of final farewell shows, The Music split up in August 2011.

[5][6][7] Harvey went on to work extensively with Mike Skinner, beginning with a Christmas song in December 2010 called Scrooge And Marley – I Don't Want It To Be Me,[8] and continuing with The Streets' 2011 album Computers and Blues.

Talking about the single, lead singer Robert Harvey said: "We love the track and it just seemed a shame to leave it gathering dust forever.

[13] Following the shows, Harvey returned to touring with Kasabian,[14] while Nutter released his debut solo album Badlands On Fire in April 2023.
