The Music - Any fans on here?
Discussion
I always thought they were massively underrated, they were one of the bands that led to me picking up the bass. I knew they'd split a while ago, and was absolutely gutted because I turned down the chance to see them at Astoria a few years back.
Anyway, I thought I'd give a heads up that they're doing some farewell shows, in London and Leeds. Praying that the tickets don't sell out before Payday
But they're supposed to be amazing live.
For people who haven't heard of them, here are a few tracks I like.
Welcome to the North
Getaway (probably my favourite track by them, so simple but brilliant IMO)
The Dance
The Dance (live) <<< You may be able to see why I thought bass was the way to go!

I think Take the Long Road is by far their best song. As the years went on, their direction changed a bit.
When I first head this song(below), I became a fan. They didn't want to play in London at first, but did play in Kingston. I went down there, with no ticket..and couldn't get in as it was sold out. Gutted. Ended up seeing them at Reading a couple of times. A great live band, thanks to Robert Harvey, on vocals.
I was just going to say that I'm sure he will stick at music, and on doing some research, he is. Unfortunately, it's been with The Streets recently.
Take the Long Road and Walk It

Absolutely loved Freedom Fighters which led to me getting a couple of their albums, but never really got into them. Actually no recollection why - just didn't listen to either more than a couple of times. Suspect I was buying quite a lot of music at the time and never really gave their albums a chance.
I went to school with Phil Jordan, who drummed for The Music. They were called Insense before they changed their name to The Music... and I saw them play at a WMC in Kippax in 1998 when my friend Alex played keys for them 
There are great moments on all 3 albums, although the first is their strongest even if it is heavily inspired by Stone Roses. The "best of" that EMI released is on Spotify, check out "Jag Tune".. its a cracker!!!

i was in the year above rob and adam. incense were truly rubbish but hardly different to the rest of the school bands at the time. was nice to see them do well but for some reason i just can't get into them. i like a few songs, but on the whole i find them average.There are great moments on all 3 albums, although the first is their strongest even if it is heavily inspired by Stone Roses.
