Here are some of the artistes involved with Feel The Quality Records and This That The Other.
Steve Sonic is a vocalist and lyricist of rare talent, rhyming unique words and phrases. FTQR have been lucky enough to be able to record Steve since 2003. He performs on four of the six tracks on the new This, That, The Other cd Fallen Soldiers. Also Steve is involved with Dub From Alantis, Bristol's reggae sensation, as well as DJing reguarly here in the West of England. He has a wry humour and true emotional influences. Superb!

Rob Merrill has drummed for many bands over the years, not least of which was
Roni Size and Reprazent, with which he won the Mercury Music Prize. Indeed with that band, he may be considered as one of the first live drum and bass performers. He has also drummed for Bristol heavyweights Massive Attack. He has recorded drums on Fallen Soldiers, the new release by This, That, The Other, adding that Bristol sound we know so well. Rob is a sought-after artiste. Nice!
