Background notes
Archive material and source history
That Was Something formed in Manchester in the early 2000s with Ethan James on vocals and guitar, Ben Richards on bass, and Tom Carter on drums. They spent their first years playing local gigs and building a following through word of mouth rather than any immediate industry attention.
Their debut album 'The Sound of Silence' came out in 2006, with the track 'Affirmative!' becoming something of an anthem for listeners who connected with its direct energy. The album's reception gave them a platform to keep working, and they followed it with records like 'The Edge of the World' and 'The Sun Will Rise Again' over the next several years.
James's lyrics and the band's general approach sometimes stirred up debate, but they kept making music on their own terms. Songs like 'Back Down Lady' and 'I Don't Wanna Go Back In The Bag' show the kind of straightforward, guitar-driven rock they were known for.
