THE XCERTS' single 'Just Go Home' was released last November by Sam Duckworth's (Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly) Mannequin Republic label. Duckworth contacted the band out of the blue after hearing Zane Lowe play 'Just Go Home' on his Radio 1 show, where it won his 'Fresh Meat' competition. Since then, the track has been added to the XFM playlist, and the band have recorded sessions for John Kennedy and MTV2. Further radio support has come with plays from Colin Murray, Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq and Vic Galloway.

Citing influences as varied as Death Cab for Cutie, Mogwai and The Police and compared to the likes of Idlewild, The Jam and Brand New, THE XCERTS combine clean and clever melodies with triumphant rock riffs to create instantly memorable songs dripping in raw power.

"A f*cking great band…blessed with an ace frontman, this is a band for the future" - Kerrang!

"Explosive energy - combination of striking songs and ferocious live performances" - Gigwise.

"The Xcerts are going to be making big strides in 2008" - Drowned in Sound.
