How can they fail? – The Times
One of the few Leeds bands whose well earned reputation precedes them, endearing
crowds locally and nationally with their six piece terrace chant rock. The Things have
been together for two years developing their sound and support which has culminated
in the February 2004 release of their debut EP. Released on Domino/Dusty Company
and produced by the legendary Phill Brown the tide is behind these boys to ease them
towards the shore of success. Singer Sam Riley writes eloquent cries of everyday life,
life affirming songs with wit, humanity and fierce energy. A band to see and be seen
