really big really clever

Brighton-based quartet really big really clever have quickly cemented themselves as a vital force in the UK emo and grunge scene. Since their explosive debut in 2023, the band has turned heads with their dynamic sound and relentless energy. Releasing their debut LP via Beth Shalom Records (home to acts like itoldyouiwouldeatyou, Buds., and Regal Cheer) teaming up with producer Tom Hill, the record showcased a seamless blend of grunge, indie, punk, and emo, earning the band a growing legion of fans Influenced by artists such as Deftones, Reuben, PUP and Violent Soho, the core duo of Jared Tomkins and Jordan Lilford formed the project after the split of their previous band, Gender Roles. Lacking the correct amount of limbs for full live performances, they brought in Brighton scene stalwarts Chris Childs and Sam Perkins to round out the line up, ensuring their onstage energy matched the power of their recordings.
