Year 8, Day 206

Hey guys. Today's song is Say You Don't Want It by One Night Only.

This is an English band, active since 2003 with current members being George Craig, Jack Sails, Daniel Parkin, James Craig, and Jonny Howe and past members listed as Kai Smith, Sam Ford, and Mark Hayton. The group started with Hayton, Parkin, Ford and Smith, but when George Craig joined as a singer and guitarist, Smith left. The name of the band was supposed to be used for one night only for their first gig since they didn't have a name yet, but the name clicked and stayed. They played gigs for a few years before Sails joined in 2005, followed by an appearance on a British comedy show called The Friday Night Project. They toured with some other bands before releasing their first album in 2007, followed by their own tour in 2008. Their next album was due for release in 2009 but got pushed until 2010. That same year Ford left the group, being replaced by James Craig, who is George's brother. This song is from that second album of theirs, and the video was also released in 2010. You might also notice as you're watching that it features a certain actress that an entire generation should be able to recognize on sight without me even saying the name. They had another album released in 2015, but have been quiet since then. I don't see anything about them breaking up, so I assume they still are technically out there, but I guess we'll wait and see.

Peace.
