Brighton-based quartet really big really clever have quickly cemented themselves as a vitalforce in the UK emo and grunge scene. Since their explosive debut in 2023, the band hasturned heads with their dynamic sound and relentless energy. Releasing their debut LP via BethShalom Records (home to acts like itoldyouiwouldeatyou, Buds., and Regal Cheer) teaming upwith producer Tom Hill, the record showcased a seamless blend of grunge, indie, punk, andemo, earning the band a growing legion of fans.

Influenced by artists such as Deftones, Reuben, PUP and Violent Soho, the core duo of JaredTomkins and Jordan Lilford formed the project after the split of their previous band, GenderRoles. Lacking the correct amount of limbs for full live performances, they brought in Brightonscene stalwarts Chris Childs and Sam Perkins to round out the line up, ensuring their onstage energy matched the power of their recordings.

Since their formation, really big really clever have played and toured alongside notable acts like Tigercub, Sweet Pill, Have Mercy, Gaffa Tape Sandy, Church Girls, and Family Dinner, solidifying their reputation as one of the most exciting live bands in the scene. 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year, with the release of their single, “floss is boss” and a string of UK tour dates. With whispers of a second full-length album on the horizon, really big really clever are poised to take their sound to even greater heights.
