Stealin' Beats EP was the debut release from British band Kid Galahad. Despite retaining the same line-up, the band changed their name in 2006 and are now known as The Furze. The title track "Stealin' Beats" was recorded in the studio and produced by Jim Abbiss who had previously worked with artists such as UNKLE and DJ Shadow.[1] "Days" and "Nefarious" were both recorded live, in order to showcase the band's acclaimed live performances. "Watching the Sun go Down" was a demo recording made in lead singer, Ash's back garden, and includes authentic bird and aeroplane sounds.[2]
The EP was generally well received and was made "single of the week" by NME magazine and BBC Radio One.[1] "Stealin' Beats" was also used in the PlayStation 2 game Dancing Stage MegaMix which has sold more than 500,000 copies worldwide.[1] The same song featured the UK Channel 4 comedy drama Teachers.[3]
