The Music are an indie band from Leeds, England. This band's sound is similar to that of Audioslave and Incubus. The members are Stuart Coleman, Adam Nutter, Robert Harvey, and Phil Jordan.

They began playing in 1999 and in 2001 a song Take the Long Road and Walk It circulated as a demo, before being released by Fierce Panda. Around this time the NME and Steve Lamacq were describing them as the best unsigned band in Britain, making the 1000-issue single a rarity from its day of release. The band was quickly signed by Hut, who released their first EP You Might as Well Try to Fuck Me. In 2002, following another EP The People, they released their eponymous debut album, which reached #4 in the UK. Their debut single was re-issued to promote the album, but only reached #14. Two further singles from the album, Getaway and The Truth is No Words reached #26 and #18.

In autumn 2004, they released their second album Welcome to the North (#8) and the accompanying single Freedom Fighters (#15), before touring with the band Incubus. In January 2005, a second single Breakin' reached #20.
