bentcousin’s members are based in Brighton, London and Bournemouth and are fronted by twins Amelia and Pat along with drummer Dan, bassist Matt and Uncle Fintan, ensuring that the band is well and truly a family affair. The band’s debut EP, Everybody’s Got One, consists of 6 tracks and lasts for 18 minutes and 7 seconds – a short-lived EP but understandably so considering the fast-paced nature of some of the tracks (they’re as tightly buttoned as one of Pat’s glorious shirts) – tracks like F.O.R.G.E.T that frolic and snap in a whirlwind of jangly guitar pop that echoes the likes of Girls Names, Spectrals, and Little Comets.

January 28th, 2013 nerveents Biffy Clyro have taken the old fashioned route to stardom, through sheer hard work.

January 6th, 2013 nerveents 2012 couldn’t have gone much better for Frank Turner. A sell-out tour, not to mention appearances at Wembley Arena and of course, a slot at the Olympic opening ceremony means it’s (unfortunately) extremely rare to catch him at such a tiny venue as the Joiners in Southampton. Sadly though, this performance was one that Frank would have wished he would never have to do.
