The Feeling: Dan Gillespie-Sells, Kevin Jeremiah (guitar); Ciaran Jeremiah (keyboards); Richard Jones (bass guitar); Paul Stewart (drums).

Some bands dive deep into classic rock radio fetishism and emerge with their own take on the tradition. The Feeling--a London quintet that spent many years as a cover band before composing original material--are capable of writing some incredibly catchy songs yet haven't quite figured out what makes themselves tick. Still, despite the lack of an immediate signature, the Feeling's Island debut, TWELVE STOPS AND HOME, features strong hook-filled songwriting and well performed, modernized '70s FM pop. The band is clearly talented and have released an album that, while not perfect, points to brilliant things to come.
