The Feeling

The Feeling are a five-piece BRIT award-nominated British band from Sussex and London. The band categorise their music as "pop".

Following a limited release of their debut "Fill My Little World" in late 2005, the band entered the UK Singles Chart at #7 with their first full release "Sewn" in February 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 on 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. The album title refers to the frequent London Underground journey Dan used to take from central London to Bounds Green on the Piccadilly Line. It also refers to the number of tracks on the album

The majority of the band are from Horsham, Sussex, with the exception of lead vocalist Sells, who is from London, and bassist Jones, who is from Forest Row, in Sussex.

Dan Gillespie Sells and Richard Jones met as music students at the BRIT School in Croydon, Surrey in 1995. They were members of one of the school's most popular bands, "Horn".

They spent a lot of time in the Alps before their début doing covers (such as "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles and "Raining Blood" by Slayer) and live gigs. It was revealed in a podcast for The Times that the band had "blagged" their way into this, saying they could perform fifty songs when in fact they only knew six.

It is sometimes mistakenly reported The Feeling used to be named "Superfly", however, Gillespie Sells explained this was a different band which Paul Stewart and Ciaran and Kevin Jeremiah played in—it was easier to get bookings by using this name.

The last gigs in the Alps were in the winter of 2004/2005. After these gigs they would sell demo CDs, which included the tracks Funny Cigarette, Sun is Shining, Still You Want More, "Never Be Lonely" and "Join With Us". Most of these tracks have since been singles, album tracks, or b-sides.
