The Xcerts are a three piece “distorted pop” band originally formed in Aberdeen, Scotland.
After relocating to Brighton to progress as a band in 2006, The Xcerts parted ways with their old drummer Ross. A replacement was found in Tom Heron, originally from Exeter, who was living in Brighton with a mutual friend and had also become close friends with Murray and Jordan. With the newly formed trio created, the band began writing the songs that would start to spread the word of The Xcerts nationally.
The Xcerts then went on to release two singles through One Records in Glasgow. ‘Breathtaking Fight’, which was recorded at Ridge Farm with Ben Watkins, was then followed shortly after by ‘My Book Laughs’. After the success of these two singles, the band were headhunted by Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly frontman, Sam Duckworth, via MySpace who subsequently released two further singles – ‘Just Go Home’ and ‘Do You Feel Safe?’ – through his label, Mannequin Republic.
Recorded at The Dog House by Adam Whittaker, ‘Just Go Home’ received regular airplay on MTV2, and the band recorded three acoustic tracks for MTV’s ‘Spanking New Sessions’ series. The band have also recorded sessions for Tiscali, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio Scotland, XFM Scotland and XFM London. Cover versions of Radiohead’s ‘All I Need’ and The Pixies’ ‘Gigantic’ featured in the XFM Scotland and XFM London sessions respectively.
