Front-man Felix Hagan and guitarist Tom Webber met at the University of Liverpool where they both studied music. At university, they started recruiting fellow students and acquaintances for the band, and by 2012, the full seven-member band had formed.
The band's first EP, "String Up the Entertainer," was released in 2013, and after sharing their music with singer Frank Turner, the band gained his public support. This transitioned into the band's role as a supporting act for Turner during his 2016 tour. There they played music from their first EP, as well as their latest 2015 release, "Kiss the Misfits."
On 24 November 2017 they released their debut album, "Attention Seeker," with glam, pop, rock, and punk influences. "Attention Seeker" topped out at number 6 on the iTunes rock chart, and soon after, the band went on tour to support the Arkells in 2018.

For all we know, the end could come tomorrow
For all we know, today is all we have
The present is a gift they say, and you'd never throw a gift away
So say the things you need to say, and show the world your love
Sometimes I get nervous to take chances
And sometimes I'm afraid to speak my truth
But fear is all a part of it, we're human at the heart of it
So give your doubt the benefit, and show the world your love
Even when you're far away from home
You don't ever have to feel alone
I'll be here, I'll be here
No matter who you are or where you come from
One thing I know for certain to be true
Gay or straight, or black or white, we all have the same heart inside
So open it, and open wide, and show the world your love
"The World's Yours" by Felix Hagan & The Family is a heartfelt anthem that encourages listeners to seize the present and express their love openly. The lyrics emphasize the uncertainty of life, suggesting that the end could be near or that today might be the only day we have. This sense of urgency is reinforced by the notion that the present is a gift that should not be wasted.
The song acknowledges the fear and hesitations that often hold us back from taking chances or speaking our truth. It recognizes that fear is a natural part of being human, but it also urges us to embrace it and allow our doubts to motivate us to action. By doing so, we can overcome our own reservations and show the world the depth of our love.
The song also promotes inclusivity and equality by highlighting that regardless of our differences, we all share the same heart. Whether we identify as gay or straight, black or white, the core of our being is the same. This message encourages listeners to not only acknowledge their own love but also to accept and appreciate the love within others.
