Following a limited release of their debut “Fill My Little World” in late 2005, the band entered the UK Top 10 with their first full release “Sewn” in March 2006. The single was one of the year’s biggest radio hits, after being played first in the UK on the Dermot O’Leary Show, BBC Radio 2, along with their first live radio session. Their debut album Twelve Stops and Home was released in the UK on June 5, 2006 and on February 27, 2007 in the US. February 18th they released their second album, Join With Us.

They are not averse to wearing their heart on their sleeve at gigs, playing covers of tunes by their favourite artists (such as ‘Video Killed The Radio Star’ by Buggles). The Feeling have also followed the ‘progressive’ tradition of the concept album, with Twelve Stops and Home being a concept album about lost and unrequited love. The album starts with a relationship having just broken up, then follows through with the various emotions of the protagonist from hopeless dreamer to turning to drink for comfort, and finally slumping home. |
