真的是一组直接了当之乐队The Music就是要你别对音乐下太多批注，不让渴望只想好好听音乐的人，却被一堆看不懂的乐曲风格贴上标签，搞的大家不知所以，听了才知道原来The Music追寻那份原始之音、保留真实摇滚风格，就是那么简单，虽然他们曾被众媒体杂志奉上继Oasis后，成为最重要的摇滚乐团、继承Brit-Pop香火续烧至新的世纪等好评，但是The Music却不加以理会，忠于自我、激发灵感、勇于挑战是他们对音乐的目标、对自我的要求，那些外界天花乱坠的美言佳评，都只是唱片公司喜于见到助于宣传手法罢了！
Robert Harvey(主唱/吉他)、Adam Nutter(吉他)、Stuart Coleman(贝斯)及Phil Jordan(鼓手)四位来自英国Leeds的摇滚热血小子，才只是高中生的年纪，却在短时间内吸引全英深受欢迎Radio 1知名DJ Steve Lamacq的注意，并推崇为全英最佳尚未签约之乐团！相当原始具有力道的摇滚声线，在1000张限量推出DEMO单曲Take The Long Road And Walk It，快速销售一空的程度看来，The Music确实成为全英乐坛瞩目的新血焦点！同年年底进入培育新人不遗余力的Hut Recordings推出EP《You Might As Well Try To Fuck Me》，及2002年4月发行第二张EP《People》后，这群平均年龄才18岁的The Music，早已胸有成足的准备一展身手，释放出超龄的音乐高感度，惊艳Music这简短有力的名号，所蕴藏之充沛能量！
继2002年全球销售近百万，入选全英年度专辑之列的首张同名专辑后，再次祭出全新之作《Welcome To The North》，他们特地飞到美国亚特兰大录制，并请到另类摇滚界制作大师Brenda O'Brien(Pearl Jam、Korn、Stone Temple Pilots)全力打造护航，更为鲜活的摇滚力道，充满高能量的率直猛劲，惊艳程度决不输首张力作！散发美式喧嚣不羁狂妄曲式之标题同名单曲Welcome To The North，在吉他急促播动下，翻动着快速且无拘束畅快音感；顺着旋律直至首发单曲Freedom Fighters与狂噪过瘾的Cessation，犹如Jane's Addiction披着鲜亮70年代硬式摇滚的猛重线条；顺畅的Guide曲毕，一路到末曲Open Your Mind，让你的渴望获得真实满足，证明The Music确是聆听好音乐再简单不过的好理由！

Open Your Mind
I thought life was supposed to be
A lesson in itself
But each day I find it so much harder
Believe in what you feel inside
Cos there's no wrong and there's no right
Everyday I find it so much harder
What do you see when you close your eyes
How do you feel when you sleep at night
Maybe it's time you opened up your mind
Open your mind
Maybe it's time
Open your mind
Maybe it's time
So many times I've tried to find
A reason to this life
But every day I find it so much harder
What do you see when you close your eyes
How do you feel when you sleep at night
Maybe it's time you opened up your mind
How can I leave my past behind
How do I live the days gone by
Maybe it's time I opened up my mind
Open your mind
Maybe it's time
Open your mind
Maybe it's time
What do you see when you close your eyes
How do you feel when you sleep at night
Maybe it's time you opened up your eyes
Open your mind
Maybe it's time
Open your mind
Maybe it's time
Open your mind
Open your mind
Open your mind
Open your mind
Yeah
