Background notes
Archive material and source history
The London rock band 199 formed in 1999 with Dave Williams on vocals, Lachlan Halliday on guitar, Henry Allen on bass, and Martin Smith on drums. They released their debut album 'The World Is Ours' in 2004, which included the title track that became a hit for them.
Their 2007 album 'Music Is Our Life' gave them one of their best-known songs. They kept recording through the 2010s with albums like 'Rise Above' and 'The Fire Within', maintaining a straightforward rock sound built around anthemic songs and energetic live shows.
They were known for being outspoken in their lyrics and stage performances, which sometimes drew criticism. The band stuck with their original lineup for years, releasing 'Unbreakable' in 2018.
