The First are a melodic rock band from Cambridgeshire. Completing the lineup during the summer of 2006, the band started working towards the release of their first EP, 'Straight Through Til Morning'. The EP proves the bands abilty to blend driving rock soundscapes with catchy pop melodies, a unique sound that has lead them to support bands such as Wheatus, Gallows, Brigade, Bring Me The Horizon, Bloodhound Gang and Furthest Drive Home, to name but a few, The First are a band that's happy tearing up the stage with indie shoegazers to metalcore screamophiles and every guitar genre in-between.
March 23rd 2009 will see the release of "Land & Sea" on Lockjaw Records. The bands second EP brings a more hardcore edge to their signature sound. More solos, more riffs and bigger production!
What the critics say:
"they do it very very well - they’re slick, note-perfect, they’re dreadfully good"
- The Organ Magazine
"To hit such a cross-section of influences without ever sounding derivative is a rare commodity, and if they continue to use it to their advantage, there's no reason why they can't match the platinum status of their predecessors."
- Rockmidgets.com
"The First are a talented band and what a way for the band to try and create a name for themselves in the Underground scene with the release of their new EP"
- Alternative Vision
"A surfeit of slick vocal harmonies and energy"
- Big Cheese Magazine
"With a well documented ‘live’ show The First have always captured audiences’ imagination and a national magazine once described them as ‘tasty’! Awesome music played with a brash ferocity"
