Career
The Music all met at Brigshaw
High School and began playing in 1999. In 2001 the song Take the Long Road and
Walk It (Fierce Panda) circulated as a demo, before being
released by Fierce Panda. Around this time the NME and Steve
Lamacq were describing them as the best unsigned band in
Britain, making the 1000-issue single a rarity from its day of release.
The band were quickly signed by Hut, who released their first EP You
Might as Well Try to Fuck Me.
In 2002,
following another EP The People, they released
their eponymous debut album entitled The
Music which reached #4 in the UK. Their debut
single was re-issued to promote the album, but only reached #14. Two
further singles from the album, Getaway and The
Truth is No Words reached #26 and #18. June 2003 saw them
filling in for Zwan on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival.
In autumn 2004,
they released their second album Welcome
to the North (#8) and the accompanying single Freedom
Fighters (#15), before touring with the band Incubus.
In January
2005, a
second single Breakin' reached #20. August
2005 saw the band play at the dual-venue V
Festival. In late 2006
they played a few UK gigs and subsequently posted on their site the
video of a live performance of a new song entitled, Fire,
which revealed both their latest sound as well as Harvey's new shaved
head look. Their website also has a video of Kill 100
by X-Press 2 featuring Rob Harvey. This video seems to be hidden, but
if you right click the video while Fire is playing
and select play,Kill 100 plays. Foo Fighter's Dave
Grohl is a huge fan of the band, and after seeing them at the V
Festival, used their smash hit single "The People" as the last warm up
track for all their gigs in 2005.
They are currently working on their third album. There are no
new live appearances planned as yet, but it is very likely the band
will perform again before the end of 2007.
