The Most is a Beat band from Umeå, Sweden. Original members are Frans Perris (guitars and vocals), Magnus Kollberg (guitars and vocals), Mats Westin (drums) and Marcus Holmberg (bass and organ). Vinyl EPs and albums being released on their own label TMR (The Most Recordings) and on the label Ny Våg Records and later on CopaseDisques. Drawing inspiration from old Blues, Jazz, Bluegrass, 50-60s Soul, 50-60s R&B but also from bands like The Zombies, The Kinks, and The Who, their music has been described as re-inventing 60s music. == History == The Most was formed by Frans Perris and Magnus Kollberg in early 2000 after different working projects, one being named Loving Nature featuring Michael Ludvigsson on drums. The Most first line up was established with the addition of bass player Marcus Holmberg from the band Komeda. In 2007, Marcus Holmberg was replaced by Inge Johansson (formerly with the band The (International) Noise Conspiracy). In 2013 bass player Martin Claesson joined the band replacing Inge. The Most were spurred on to write Beat music by British Invasion creator Shel Talmy, who liked the song ''Bad Girl'', and Chris Dreja from the Yardbirds. The first EP ''Face the Future'' was released in 2008. Andy Bell (Ride, Hurricane No. 1, Oasis, Beady Eye) has worked with The Most on various recordings and contributed guitars and vocals on the song ''Now I Feel'' from the second EP ''Moderation in Moderation'' (a title suggested by Andy Bell). A video for ''Now I Feel'' was made by Mattias Pettersson. In 2009, The Most opened for The Sonics at the venue Debaser Medis in Stockholm, Sweden. The band's third EP ''Resistance is Useless'' was released in 2010. Again Andy Bell contributed with guitar on one song, ''Easy When You're Down''. In early 2011 a video for ''Little Girl'' was released. Two new videos was released by The Most in early 2012. Firstly, ''The Action'' from the ''Face the Future'' EP. A few months later the band released ''Bad Girl'' from the ''Moderation in Moderation'' EP. The Most first full-length album ''Auto-Destructive Art'' was released on May 17, 2013. A pre-release took place in Liverpool, UK with three live gigs at the famous Cavern Club for the International Pop Overthrow music festival. The first video from the album was for a song titled ''Spiderman''. The second video from the album became the track ''So Wrong''. It was released in August that same year. Bass player Martin Claesson joined The Most for a tour in Spain late in 2013 where the group performed at the Purple Weekend Festival in León. He is currently in the band. The song ''She's Nuts'' is released as a video on YouTube in March 2014. At Christmas 2014 the band released the Tages (band) song ''Fuzzy Patterns'' in a psychedelic video on YouTube. The end of 2014 also saw the light of new single ''Picking Up Speed''. Featuring two new original songs and cover art by Ian Barrett. A video for the song ''I'm Not Your Man'' from the ''Auto-Destructive Art'' CD is released on YouTube in March 2015. October 2015 saw the release of a second full length album. This time on 12” black vinyl with an accompanying CD with the 15 album tracks. Recently back from an American tour the band used the tongue-in-check title ''Invasion Completed'' for the album.
