Former students of the Brit School of Performing Arts in Croydon, the quintet initially performed as Super Fly, a resident cover band playing at La Tania Ski Resort in the French Alps. The group soon realized they wanted to create their own classic rock-inspired pop and, upon returning home, rechristened themselves the Feeling. With the backing of Island Records, the band's polished debut, Twelve Stops and Home, was released in the U.K. in June 2006, where it charted three Top Ten U.K. Singles ("Sewn," "Fill My Little World," "Never Be Lonely") and garnered a Brit Award nomination. The album was re-released on the Cherry Tree/Interscope label the following year in America -- complete with revised cover art and retooled track listing -- but failed to match its overseas success. Nevertheless, the band's popularity at home continued to soar, and the sophomore effort Join With Us topped the U.K. charts upon its release in February 2008.
